Dispossession, Erasure, and Replacement: Appropriated Totem Poles in the Urban and Indigenous Histories of Vancouver and Seattle

Abstract

This paper was originally written for Madeline Knickbocker’s FNST/HIST 326 course History of Aboriginal Peoples of North America Since 1850. The assignment asked students choose an issue in Indigenous history post-1850 and consider how Indigenous peoples from Canada and from the US experienced this same event, phenomena, or trend. The paper uses a Chicago citation style.
