From Colonialism to Multiculturalism? Totem Poles, Tourism and National Identity in Vancouver's Stanley Park

This paper focuses on two interrelated moments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, both concerned with colonialism, totem poles, tourism, and national identity. The first moment explores the government initiated campaign aimed at totem pole preservation during the 1920s. The second moment entails the first major renovation of the existing totem poles site at Brockton Point.
