- British_Columbia_gold_rushes abstract "British Columbia gold rushes were important episodes in the history and settlement of European peoples in western Canada.The presence of gold in what is now British Columbia is mentioned in old legends that, in part, led to its discovery.[citation needed] The Strait of Anian, claimed to have been sailed by Juan de Fuca for whom today's Strait of Juan de Fuca is named, was described as passing through a land (Anian) "rich in gold, silver, pearls and fur". Bergi (meaning "mountains"), another legendary land near Anian, was also said to be rich in gold as well. Speculative maps of northwestern North America published before the area was mapped placed the legendary golden cities of Quivira and Cibola in the far inland northwest.[citation needed] No Spanish exploration parties in search of El Dorado, "the golden one" a reference to the legendary king of a lost golden city, are known to have ever reached British Columbia, although archaeological remains point to a brief Spanish presence in the Okanagan and Similkameen regions of the province's Southern Interior.[citation needed] Indigenous native peoples in the area of the community of Gold River, on Vancouver Island, which is a community at the end of a fiord that drains the westcoast of Vancouver Island, tell a story of Spanish arriving then burning the valley searching for gold. Prospectors searching the valley have found old crude dug adits on the pass of the White River Valley and the Gold River Valley.[citation needed]".
