Portrait of two individuals at a potlatch in North Vancouver. The man in the centre of the image appears to be Chief John L. George, of the Burrard tribe.
Image shows an audience on the shoreline and the E & N train trestle watch members of the Songhees First Nation dance the Sxwayxwey for a potlatch. This photograph was likely provided by the Provincial Archives of British Columbia to the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss for his book "The Way of the Masks."
Items from the Museum of Anthropology including house posts, feast dishes, a bentwood box, and model totem poles, on display in Montréal for the Northwest Coast exhibit for "Man and His World".
