Bricks around the outer rim of the octagon carry the names of some of the Indians who signed treaties giving the Hudson's Bay Company ownership of the Fort Victoria site.Supported by public grants and individual sponsorships, the memorial project was initiated by the Greater Victoria Civic Archives Society.This tablet marks the site of the bastion which stood at the north east corner of Fort Victoria.
