This file contains a letter from Chief James Martin Smith (Maqualahgulees) of We Wai Kai (Cape Mudge) First Nation to Eric D. Sismey. The main focus of the letter appears to be an oral history about Jonny Moon, a chief of the Walitsma at H'Kusam (Salmon River), the relationship between the authors family and Moon's, and a story about the erection and design of the Moon family's house pole.

File contains copies of correspondence between David Cunningham and the K'omoks First Nation regarding a mask that was lent to a travelling exhibit titled "Written in the Earth".

This file contains letters from Herb Taylor to Wilson Duff and Harry Hawthorn. In the letter to Duff, Taylor seeks feedback on a map to be included in the publication "Tribal Distribution of the Lower Northwest Coast".

The letter to Hawthorn concerns fieldwork and library research that Taylor performed under the direction of Hawthorn, as well as a list of proposed publications based on this research. In the latter, Taylor discusses extensive archaeological excavations that were undertaken on Vancouver and Quadra Islands. Taylor notes that notes and maps from the excavations were turned over to the Howay-Reid collection at UBC, with copies of fieldnotes sent to the BC Provincial Museum, the National Museum in Ottawa, and to Charles Borden at UBC. Taylor also undertook ethnological interviews with the Wei Wai Kai First Nation at Cape Mudge, and indicates that tapes were sent to Duff at the BC Provincial Museum and a report provided to Hawthorn at UBC. The research proposal for this work is included in the file, along with Taylor's curriculum vitae

Additional materials include a more detailed map of the traditional territories of First Nations along the Fraser Delta, Salish Sea, and Pacific Coast of Washington and Oregon. A bibliography for the course Anthropology 461B: Indians of the Southern Northwest Coast is also provided.
