| Summary: | In 1906, Edward S. Curtis received funding from J.P. Morgan to begin work on "The North American Indian," a twenty volume set of photographs and text documenting Native American tribes throughout the western United States. The eleventh volume, featuring the Nootka, Clayoquot and Haida tribes, was published in 1916. "Some of the Haida men are remarkably skilled in carving miniature "totem poles" out of a soft black slate. A column such as those here reproduced simply recounts a myth."
