About this ebook
"In 1906 Pauline travelled to London, England, where she first met Chief Joseph Capilano of the Squohomish or 'Squamish' band of Central Coast Salish Indians who lived north of Vancouver at the head of Howe Sound in British Columbia. Chief Capilano and two fellow Salish chiefs had voyaged to England - the first West Coast native chiefs to do so - to protest violations of their treaty land and game rights to King Edward VII. Pauline not only befriended 'Chief Joe' but also assisted in gaining a royal audience for him. When she retired from the stage in 1909, she settled in Vancouver where she renewed her acquaintance with her 'tillicum skookum' or great friend Joseph Capilano. During long visits and canoe rides, he told her the tales of Salish culture she was to re-tell in Legends of Vancouver."--Robirda.com/legends/index.html.
