File mainly contains images of Northwest Coast artifacts held at the Museum of Anthropology (MOA), including hats, spoons, silver bracelets, and weavings. The textual records include print outs of catalogue records of more artifacts also held at MOA.
File contains four photographs of a Northwest Coast style cedar hat. The textual records include a photocopy of an image of the hat featured in the photographs, as well as a photocopy of an image of two silver bracelets.
The collection consists of eight photographs likely taken in the Nuu-chah-nulth community in the 1920's. Some of the photographs may have been taken by Catherine, the daughter of an early Indian Agent named Augustus Cox. They include a number of images that appear to be a Samiilth or Saatlsaach ceremony, with K'aanaatla mimicking wolves. Some of these images are taken near a seaside village, which shows various types of structures and canoes. Other images taken on a beach show canoe runs, as well as two images of individuals in robes and headdresses. Another image shows a detailed view of two headdresses. There are also images of what seem to be preparations for a parade, with individuals dressed in costumes and decorated motorcars nearby.
Portrait of a man and woman in traditional/ceremonial dress and masks or headdresses. The two are standing outside in a grassy area. They are not identified, but may be Mr. and Mrs. McKay, who are pictured on pages 88-89 of Carter's book "From History's Locker."
