Harry Hawthorn speaks at the opening of the Haida section of Totem Park. Chancellor Phyllis Ross is visible on the viewer's left and the man seated just left of Harry Hawthorn appears to be Doug Cranmer. The date on the annotation is incorrect.
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.
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.
