A big collection of these pictures is in the Smithsonian's Sikh Museum.  There is some good info on it here: Sikh Community:  Over 100 Years in the Pacific Northwest.

These olds pics are really good, I've included them in Sikh Sangeet Gallery based on year: Sikh Memories

You must've heard about the Kamagata Maru incident.  That's one of the landmarks in Canadian history.
