Image of a piece of on old totem pole, sitting on a block. It appears to be located in a museum, possibly the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia.
The pole was re-adzed and re-painted by Kwakwaka'wakw carver Mungo Martin before shipping to UBC in 1947. Repainted and repaired by Ellen Neel (1949) and by Mungo Martin (1950-51). It stood at Totem Pole Park, UBC Campus until it was re-located to the Museum's Great Hall ca. 1976.
File consists of images of the Kingcome Inlet and Gilford Island, both in the central coast area of British Columbia. Scenery and individuals from the area are featured.
File consists of images of Totem Park and Wreck Beach at the University of British Columbia, as well as a small number of images of unidentified locations elsewhere in BC.
Image taken at a pole raising ceremony in Masset. The pole was carved by Robert Davidson, Jr. This image is looking down onto a man (Davidson?) painting the pole, with a crowd gathered nearby.
