Murder of William Robinson

The murder of William Robinson, an African-American immigrant to Canada and a Sunday school teacher, occurred in March 1868 on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. A short investigation and trial convicted a local Chemainus Indigenous man named Tom (Tshuanahusset) for the murder. Later historians have questioned the validity of the verdict and the lack of evidence of Tshuanahusset's guilt.
