Great start, I can't believe this guy didn't have an article already.
Well, uh, I guess....the colonial assembly hasn't had an article written on it yet, but yes he was a member, so I guess he's a politician. Not how I think of him. But the upshot of the precedent here is that all members of the BC colonial assemblies and executive councils will be classes as politicians; that's half the pre-1858 population of Victoria, ultimately (the British-subject males anyway, and I think including a few franco-canadiens/Metis). My further issue here, which has to do with the lack of appropriately BC stubs, is that he wasn't a Canadian politician, but a British Columbian one in the days before BC was part of Canada.....

Found this: JB Kerr's BC biographical sketches, 1890, link goes to specific page ref on the Hemlckens; written when John D was still alive in fact; lots of details useful for this article, and another on J.D. which still has to be written.... Skookum1 20:44, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Gonna have to remember where information on this is, his word lists of some languages and supposed proficiency in some are a matter of record; it's in one of the early histories on nosracines.ca, I don't have time to look right now, just know it's out there.....
