A50030 carved by Bill Reid and Doug Cranmer (1961-62) as the frontal pole for the front of the Haida house, at the University of British Columbia, for display in Totem Park. Moved to the new Museum of Anthropology grounds in 1978. Pole was removed from the Haida House in 2000-09 and placed in a greenhouse tent for conservation treatment and drying. Pole was then re-raised in the Great Hall of the Museum on Oct. 31, 2002.
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.
