Series consists of images found in or related to Carter's 1966 published work. Focus is on photographic representations of First Nations communities along B.C.'s North coast, including the Xwemelch'stn (Coast Salish), Kynoc, Kitisug, Klemtu and Tsleil-Waututh nations. Files are generally arranged chronologically according to locality and/or subject matter. Except where noted with square brackets, the titles for files and items in this series were taken from annotations on the original material.
File consists of images of Chief George Slahholt of the Burrard Reserve and his wife Taha, mother of Chief Dan George. Images also include a few other individuals identified as Jack, Herbert, and Paddy.
