Lifetime
of
Anthropology
Dr.
Barbeau
Feels
Work
f
Starting
After
more
than
a
generation
of
delving
into
the
early
culture
of
Canada's,
west
coast
Indians,
Dr.
Marius
Barbeau,
anthropologist
of
Canada's
National
Museum,
finds
that,
despite
his
exhaustive
efforts,
he
is
now
entering
the
most
fruitful
period
of
his
work.
"
Dr.
Barbeau
arrived
In
Prince
i'ogy"
while
a
Rhodes
Scholar
at
Rupert-Tuesday
on
his
seventh
investigation
of
Indian
folk
lore
and
culture
background
in
this
area
and,
despite
the
fact
that
he
had
not
visited
the
west
coast
since
1939i
he
declared
that
he
felt
as
though
he
were
"coming
home.'
"My
work
is
well
advanced
and
I
want
to
push
it
further.
get
more
and
more
material
and
greater
accuracy
on
the
material
I
have
already
collected,"
said
this
short,
stout
French-Canadian
who
undoubtedly
is
the'
greatest
living
authority
on
west
coast
Indian
lore.
His
eyes
gleamed
with
enthusiasm
as
he
continued:
"I
have
been
the
most
active
anthropologist
in
this
field
and
have
garnered
a
great
deal,
of
Information.
However,
I
feel
that
I
have
hardly
begun
that
I
am
entering
the
most
fruitful
period
of
my
work
now."
Ills
current
project
is
to
complete
earlier
investigations
concerning
slate
carvings
of
Queen
Charlotte
Island
Indians,
which
already
he
has
identified
as
to
period
and
craftsman
between
this
investigation
will
be
a
monographscientific
history
to
be
called
"Haida
Carvings
on
Ar-gollitc."
Argollite,
incidentally,
is
the
scientific
name-
for
black
slate.
HAS
COME,
LONG
WAY
IN
ANTHROPOLOGY
For
a
man
who
started
off
with
an
initial
dislike
of
anthropology,
he
has
come
.a
long
way:
His
original
intention
was
to
be
tome
a
sociologist
but
he
was
"cleverly
talked
into
anthropol-
Oxford.
He
had
just
graduated
from
a
Quebec
university
in
law
when
he
was
chosen
as
a
Rhodes
scholar
during
the
first
decade
of
the
century.
j
His
interest
in
anthropology
aroused,
he
wrote
a
thesis
on
the
north
coast
Indians.
It
resulted
in
an
offer
from
Canada's
NaUonal
Museum,
a
position
which
he
has
held
with
increasing
distinction
ever
since.
"I
have
had
several
tempting
j
offers
to
go
with
American
institutions,
but
when
you
are!
born
a
Canadian
especially
a
French-Canadian
you
have
a
great
aptitude'
to
remain
in
Canada."
After
working
with
the
Iroquois
Indians
in
eastern
Canada,
Dr.
Barbeau
came
west
in
1912
and
did
research
Timong
the
Thompson
and
Shuswap
In
dians
in
the
southern
part
of
B.C.
There,
with
the
assistance
of
James
Tait
of
Spence's
Bridge,
herecorded
a,
collection
of
over
70
Indian
songs,
which
he
considers
the
"finest
collection
of
songs
we
have."
He
also
plans
in
the
near
fu-
1825
and
the
present.
Result
of
!
ture
to
publish
a
recorded
col
lection
of
75
Tsimpsean
Indian
songs
which
have
been
ready
for
10
years.
He
has
had
difficulty
in
arranging
publication
because
the
records
will
have
interest
to
only
a
relatively
small
group
of
people.
On
his
present
trip,
Dr.
Barbeau
has
brought
along
a
recording
apparatus
and
plans
to
increase
his
collection
of
authentic
native
songs
and
lore.
He
intends
to
visit
among
the
remaining
older
people
in
Igraphy."

he

have

"You
