Canadian province - British Columbia. (See map.)
Criteria for the CCRH Castles Award
in Columbia River Basin History parallels that of
National History Day, with emphasis on the depth of
historical research and balanced use of available
primary sources, the inclusion of the students' own
reasoned analysis and interpretation, and connection
of the topic to the theme. Additionally, students
should demonstrate clearly their topic's historical
context and its importance in Columbia River Basin
history.
