Subseries consists of material created by Jacquie Gijssen and Karen Duffek, two MOA employees who were in charge of McLennan’s office while he was working on Expo ’86. During this time, they visited Robert Davidson at his studio in Semiahoo Village where he was carving three totem poles for the Pepsi Cola Sculpture Garden. Karen interviewed Robert about the work on two occasions and Jacquie photographed the work on the pole over the year of 1986. The series consists of interview notes by Karen and negatives and slides by Jacquie.
File contains a copy of a handwritten transcript of the conversation Karen Duffek had with Robert Davidson on January 21, 1986, regarding his totem pole project with Pepsi Cola.
Subseries contains images mostly taken by McLennan that show the Bill Reid pole which sat outside the Museum of Anthropology at UBC being taken down and moved inside the museum because it was no longer stable due to weathering. This spurred a project funded with a Canada Council grant to then create a new pole to put up in its place. This pole was carved by Jim Hart and called the Respect to Bill Reid pole.
This file contains images of the Bill Reid pole which sat outside the Haida House at the Museum of Anthropology. These images show the pole being taken down due to it no longer being stable.
File contains the digital media used to create the virtual museum website for the Respect to Bill Reid Pole in both English and French. These include html pages, audio and video files, images, the electronic invitation to the event, logos and text files, css style sheets, and javascript code.
