In front of the Canadian embassy in Washington, DC now stands a black bronze canoe, 20 feet long, in which are crowded many creatures of the mythology of the Haida tribe. Here is the textual and photographic chronicle of how the monument was created, how it changed during its several stages of metamorphosis, and what the artist, Reid, thought of it. The illustrations are b&w. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
