Henry "Harry" McDame (c. 1826 – c. 1900) was a Bahamas-born prospector in the California and British Columbia gold rushes.
They explored the Peace, Nation and Smoky Rivers, as reported in a column in the British Colonist, December 15, 1863.
They prospected on Germansen Creek in the Omineca area in 1870, but in 1874, like thousands of others, went to the Cassiar Country following reports of rich gold deposits around Dease Lake.
He returned to the Omineca after his recovery, staking with a new partner, Sam Booth, and died in that region some time before 1901.
McDame also prospected in other areas, such as the Skeena, which was another route to both the Omineca and Cassiar gold districts; there he conferred a few placenames including Chimdemash Creek, the meaning of which is not known.
