This exhibit was developed with the Traditional Parenting Skills Program of the Indian Homemaker’s Association of British Columbia. The project was created to show the evolution of the Association. The quilt serves as a visual symbol that represents the unity of Aboriginal people as well as the distinctiveness of each individual’s nation, community and family.
Series consists of photographs documenting totem pole raising or restoration and other events held at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Museum of Anthropology (MOA).
In 1976 Jensen was hired by MOA to document the installation of totem poles into the new building. Jensen did not keep the negatives for these photographs (MOA did in this instance). She was hired again in 1981 to create a slide loop of images to be featured in the museum. After working with the museum, she felt welcome there and often gave talks or did training. Most of the subsequent photographs in this series were taken at public events such as book launches or pole raisings.
Subseries consists of records relating to an Asian art exhibition of the Victor Shaw Collection at the Museum of Anthropology. Records include exhibition budgets, memoranda, and exhibition cost estimates.
