A Totem Pole History by Pauline R Hillaire
Joseph Hillaire (Lummi, 1894-1967) is recognized as one of the great Coast Salish artists, carvers, and tradition-bearers of the twentieth century. In A Totem Pole History, his daughter Pauline Hillaire, who is herself a well-known cultural historian and conservator, tells the story of her fathers life and the traditional and contemporary Lummi narratives that influenced his work.
"This book operates just like a totem pole—each essay is a face and each face has many meanings, and together, they combine to tell a tale" —Portland Book Review
"A must read for anyone who wants to understand totem poles using a Lummi perspective.""—N. J. Parezo, Choice
