SUMMARY:Chinese Workers & the Pacific Salmon Canning Industry
DESCRIPTION:Join CHSA in welcoming brothers Jim & Philip Chiao for an exploration into the history of Chinese in the Pacific salmon canning industry. \nIn 1852\, 19-year-old William Hume traveled from Maine to California by way of Panama. Unlike most young men of the time\, he did not come to prospect for gold. Instead\, he made a living by fishing in the Sacramento River\, later founding the first salmon cannery on the west bank of the Sacramento River. In 1870\, Hume and his brothers hired 15 Chinese workers\, beginning four decades of Chinese dominance in the labor market of the salmon canning industry along the Pacific Coast from California to Alaska. \nSpeakers Jim and Philip Chiao spent three summers working in Alaska canneries during their college years\, personally experiencing the life of cannery workers during the early 1970s. Recently\, they have documented their Alaska experiences in a blog on their website. Jim and Philip will take the audience on a guided historical tour of Chinese American and Chinese workers in the canning industry. They will trace 150 years of Chinese workers in the canning industry\, starting with the founding of the industry\, the expansion and dominance of Chinese workers in the labor market\, and its eventual demise. Along the way\, they will highlight the major events that shaped the industry and affected the Chinese workers. \nThe program will last from 1-2pm. Audience members will be able to ask the speakers questions at 2pm. Advanced questions can be submitted to info@chsa.org. \nClick here to register and learn more. \n\n \nJames Chiao is an Electrical Engineer by profession. He received a BSEE from University of Washington and a MSEE from CWRU. He had spent 30+ years working in various high-tech companies in the Silicon Valley and retired 4 years ago. He has been active in the non-profit organization Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN)\, which he co-founded with others in 1996\, and has served as its (co-)president for 5 years. He is currently a member of FCSN’s board of directors\, and a member of Chinese Historical and Cultural Project (CHCP)’s advisory board. He and his wife are residents of Fremont. \nPhilip C. Chiao is an Architect by profession. He has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from University go Washington\, and a Master of Architecture degree from University of Illinois. He had worked in various architectural firms and had at times established his own practices. He retired from his profession in 2016.
