File contains images of various First Nations villages and townspeople around Skidegate, Port Simpson, and Bella Bella.

This file contains correspondences between Wilson Duff, R.F. Scagel, and Trisha Gessler concerned Gessler's manuscript entitled "The Art of Nunstints" [sic]. The manuscript was not accepted for publication after peer review by Duff and an anonymous reviewer. It appears that the primary concern with the text has to do with the issue of artistic attribution. Gessler worked from an earlier thesis advanced by Duff that he later revised. Many works once attributed to Tom Price were later suggested to be the work of at least one other artist.

File consists of images of Haida Gwaii. Subjects include the Skedans village site, the city of Skidegate, Maud Island, and Queen Charlotte City.

This file contains correspondences related to Wilson Duff's publication of an article in response to Allen Wardwell's article “The Partial Rediscovery of a Northwest Coast Monument". Correspondences and reproduced fieldnotes, oral history, and photographs discuss a moon figure that was connected to a possible mortuary pole for Captain Gold [Nankilstas] at Chaatl.

The file contains what appear to be narrative accession notes for seven (7) items donated to MOA by Dr. George H. Raley in 1948-1949. Notes and catalogue records provide provenance and cultural context, including information pertaining to object numbers A1571 a-b (noted as 18 Bella Bella/Shaman's box; poss. A1764 a-b), A1465, A1776 a-c (noted as 'The angel'), possibly A6519 (listed as A1138), A1800 (Gumbegalis/ancestor figure), and other objects that may have been repatriated or which are not currently identifiable in the MOA Catalogue.

Notes provide dates of 1948 and 1949 for Duff's conversation with Dr. Raley. Several objects incorrectly attribute communities of origin due outdated practice of grouping peoples based on linguistic similarities.
