Powell first went to La Push, the Quileute village in Washington State, in 1969 to complete research for his PhD dissertation Proto-Chimakuan: A Reconstruction. While he documented the language he also developed relationships with the local families. During Jensen’s initial visit to La Push, the couple began their first collaborative work with the Quileute, as Jensen photographed the community for eventual use in a language book.

Powell completed his dissertation in 1974, but the language revival projects had only just begun for Jensen and Powell. Over the next 36 years, they spent time in La Push every year, sometimes travelling down for a weekend, and sometimes staying for a month or two. The results of these regular visits are a number of general linguistic books for adults and children; Big Books on culture specific themes to be used in schools; teaching materials to be used by Quileute language and culture teachers; cultural resource studies; dictionaries; and translated stories and resources for smaller language revitalization projects. The records in this series consist of Powell’s research notes; drafts and outlines for the language books; photographs documenting the community; Jensen’s photographs taken of particular subjects for use in language and culture books; audio and visual records of events, stories, and cultural activities.

Jensen and Powell have a continuing relationship with the Quileute and are currently involved in an ongoing language revitalization project. Another dictionary is due to be published in 2009.

Includes records related to the Reciprocal Research Network (RRN) stream of the Renewal Project. The RRN is an online tool designed to facilitate reciprocal and collaborative research about cultural heritage from the Northwest Coast of British Columbia. The RRN enables communities, cultural institutions and researchers to work together. Members can build their own projects, collaborate on shared projects, upload files, hold discussions, research museum projects, and create social networks. For both communities and museums, the RRN is groundbreaking in facilitating communication and fostering lasting relationships between originating communities and institutions around the world.

The RRN was co-developed by the Musqueam Indian Band, the Stó:lō Nation/Tribal Council, the U’mista Cultural Society and MOA. This collaboration ensured the needs of the originating communities as well as museums are taken into account at all stages of the development. (From RRN “About” page, https://www.rrncommunity.org/pages/about, accessed February 26, 2020).

Ann Stevenson was the RRN stream lead.

Series is divided into subseries based on functions of the RRN stream.

This series consists of records collected for a research project, which involved documenting the Northwest Coast objects within German museums. In June of 1989 Duffek went to Berlin to photograph a portion of the collection of Northwest Coast artifacts collected by Johan Adrian Jacobsen from 1881-1883. This collection is predominantly at Berlins Museum Für Völkeskunde (now called the Ethnologiesches Museum Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz). On this trip, she also visited the Hamburg Museum fur Volkerkund, Museum fur Nolkerkunde in Lubeck, the Nationalmuseet in Kopenhagan, and the Statens Ethnografiska Museum in Stockholm. Marjorie Halpin got a UBC research grant and hired Duffek as a research assistant although Duffek initiated the project itself. The series consists of notes, slides, contact sheets and negatives for the project.
