(In 1927, the beginnings of what is now a suberb collection of Kwakiutl art were assembled at the
University of British Columbia. Audrey Hawthorn has played a key role in helping this collection grow.
In this book she introduces the craft and technology of Northwest Coast Indian art, discusses in
detail the wellsprings of its central images, and carefully reviews the significance of such important
cultural features as the lineage house and the totem pole)
