Image of artist Bill Reid standing in the remains of a house on Anthony Island. Reid is at a slight distance from the camera, seen in silhouette standing at either the front or rear of the structure. A note, possibly written by Audrey Hawthorn, accompanies this slide. See item a039485 in this file for this note.
Image depicts another view of the possibly religious structure depicted in item a033049. In addition to the architectural details noted earlier (many windows, flat roof, structure comprised of wood, earth, stone, and cement) this view depicts a prayer wheel, a cylindrical wheel on a spindle), visible on the roof, centre left of the image. The four sided walls indicate that this building may be located in the Ladakh region. A collection of drums and many seated individuals are visible in front of the building and one person appears to be dancing.
Photo of artists Doug Cranmer guiding a roof beam into place. This photograph was taken during the original construction of the Haida house in Totem Park.
The caption on this slide simply states "Coast Salish." A possible second caption on a sheet of paper states "Alert Bay Big House." A unique aspect of this house is that what once were interior house posts have been moved to the exterior of what was likely a later structure. This photograph may have been used in a book by Marius Barbeau or Edward Linnaeus Keithahn.
