Richard Moody
Richard Moody was a 19th-century British colonial administrator and the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for the Colony of British Columbia. He played a significant role in the early development of the province, overseeing land management and settlement issues during a time of significant change and tension between Indigenous peoples and colonial authorities. Moody's actions, particularly regarding land transactions, have been scrutinized in light of historical agreements with Indigenous groups, including the Cowichan Nation, who are currently asserting their Aboriginal title in court.
