Aerial view of Haida House after construction and carvings were complete. The date of the annotation must be incorrect as the double mortuary pole and the house front totem pole were not completed until 1962.
Postcard depicts several people and horses standing outside a collection of tipis, with one person sitting on horseback. Verso of the postcard indicates that the publisher is "The Valentine & Sons United Publishing Co. Limited."
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.
Postcard depicts a row of tipis in a field with a mountain in the background. People are sitting, standing, and walking in front of the tipis. Verso of postcard indicates that the image was photographed by Byron Harmon.
