[Harry James sitting with masks]

Item is a photograph taken at the Nanaimo Reserve showing Harry James with masks. Inscription on verso of print: "No. 2994 - Indian ceremonial masks are handed down generation to generation. This Indian is nearly 80 years of age and keeps these masks hidden in an old chest in a smoke house on the Reservation. Considerable coaxing was necessary before he would produce them for photographing. It is his belief that if he should lose them a curse would descend upon his family. Don Coltman Photo."
