Norman Tait and John Livingston artwork

File consists of images of artwork by John Livingston, Art Thompson, Susan Point (carved and painted chairs, kneeling stools, boxes), as well as images of masks that may be the work of Norman Tait.

Vickie Jensen's description (from November 2021 archival accession notes): "I heard that Norman carved the mace for the provincial chambers but haven't seen any photos of it; these photos [not taken by Vickie] seem to show the chair and kneeling bench (?) that John Livingston carved and that Norman is helping to assemble. [Also consists of] photos Vickie took of an old chair that a classmate brought to Klee Wyck carving class one night. She specialized in restoring old art work and had received this chair to work on. There's a business card with the photos, but I don't remember that person."

MOA Magazine

File consists of magazines published by the museum for members, released about twice a year. The magazines cover collections, exhibitions, events, the Volunteer Associates, books published by MOA staff, various museum initiatives, interviews, behind-the-scenes information, essays by curators, news and updates, and general visitor information.

Interviews [Anthony Shelton]

Includes two video interviews with Anthony. One is a 1995 interview on MTV called Fetishis: Visualizing Power and Desire. The other is a recording of a Canadian Museum Association (CMA) conference presentation with Q&A, on the topic of whether there is a Canadian museology, from May 13, 2021. This conference was online.

Misc. photographs

Consists of photographs taken of social events and carvers connected to the Tait project, but not officially part of the project itself. Jensen was invited to a number of feasts and parties hosted by the Tait family, which she often photographed, making a gift of the pictures to the family members. At one of the parties, a family member performed a dance wearing a mask made to represent Jensen and her camera, complete with the sound of the shutter. In addition to events, Jensen met a number of artists, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, through her acquaintance with the Taits, and she often photographed them.

Tait family works and exhibitions

This file consists of materials relating to the Tait family's artistic works, including carvings, totem poles, button blankets, exhibitions, and images of works in progress. These images were originally contained within the same photo album. An item-level description provided by Vickie upon accession:

  • The first sleeve with six prints I took when Norman, his brother "Chip" and daughter Valerie did a presentation of a canoe project to representatives from the Field Museum (maybe?) came to MOA to meet with him. Evidently there must have been some funding promised because they started to rough out the log and Ronnie Tessler photographed that. Her photos of that are in the MOA archives, I think. And then something happened with the log: either they discovered it was badly cracked or had rot but the became apparent that huge log couldn't be used. And after that, the project never went forward.
  • One sleeve of Norman Tait in regalia after completion of the PNE demonstration carving. A great group of Nisga'a dancers were on hand to honour the pole. There are more colour photos than are here, but I don't know where they are.
  • Norman Tait, Valerie Tait (doing a button blanket), Valerie's son Chris (Kris ?) (carving a mask) and Ron Telek (doing several large poster drawings) were part of an "in process" exhibition but I can't remember where it was held, a busy place downtown in Vancouver possibly. Mercy Robinson Thomas is writing in one photo.
  • 5 sleeves of the ceremonies that Cap Mall put on for the anniversary (which one?) of the raising of the Capilano Mall poles in North Vancouver. Many others agree that these poles are some of Norman's best and most creative. One the third sleeve, Norman's nephew (Hope/Grace's son) Ed, is being recognized by Mercy Robinson Thomas who is the Wolf Clan Chieftainess. It could be that he was receiving a name and then danced. Valerie Tait is also in white buckskin and she is shown putting a contribution in the beaver bowl on the floor, as others then do. There's a large family grouping, Valerie with a baby (?) and Norman Tait with Reva Robinson Malkin.
  • 1st sleeve of b&w photos: Norman Tait's "old woman with labret" mask
  • Verso: Norman's Mischievous Man button blanket (that went missing)
  • 2nd sleeve: Norman showing his young carving crew some of the poles in the Great Hall that were his "teachers"
  • Verso: Isaac Tait working on the Native Education Center's doorway pole. He's finishing off the "cedar bark" that frames the doorway; one of the carver's portrait masks in holding on. There were four such portraits around the doorway.
  • 3rd sleeve: the Native Ed pole nearing completion
  • Mounted on hardboard photo of Chip showing Isaac portions of Norman's sketch of the Native Ed pole
  • Harry "Hammy" Martin beginning deep cuts with a small chainsaw
  • Mounted version of Native Ed pole near completion
  • Letter to Andrea Laforet, CMC, regarding photos I took of Tsimshian/Nisgaa/NWC artifacts in the Copenhagen Museum in 1986 while we were on sabbatical. Also 3 pages of b&w 5x7 prints of the most interesting items, and listing of all NWC artifacts of interest.
  • Page of recent (2021) notes from Alver Tait about finding his daughter and photos from that reunion with her children. As a child she had been told her father was dead; only re-discovered in 2009
