Studio portrait of Hakam Singh Hundal. Hakam Singh Hundal first came to B.C. in October 1906. Hakam and his brother, Jiwan Singh Hundal arrived in North America through San Francisco in 1905. They worked their way up the coast until he entered Canada. Hakam settled in Vancouver, B.C. while his brother Jiwan settled in Astoria, Oregon. Hakam initially worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway. However, strong union activism during the period was committed to excluding South Asians from all union jobs. Thus, Hakam worked at other jobs, including clearing the land for the Vancouver Golf Club in 1910 and later worked at the False Creek Lumber Company as a laborer, circa 1918.
