Southwest Seminars: Ancient Sites and Ancient Stories Featuring Dr. Richard D. - N.A. - (Santa Fe, NM)
This seminar recounts Dr. Feldman's ten-year research journey that solved the mystery of the missing totem pole from the Brady Collection of Sitka National Historical Park. The Brady Collection of totem poles is 1 of the most famous and studied collections in the world, and the fate of the pole remained a mystery to historians for 90 yrs. The talk takes the audience to the Indianapolis neighborhood of Golden Hill, to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, to a remote island Indian village in Southeast Alaska, and finally to the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis for a traditional pole raising of an exact replica of the original pole. Solving this mystery and tracing the pole to its original Native Alaskan family was a true modern-day adventure. Dr. Feldman invites the audience to share in that adventure! The research has been the subject of 2 scholarly articles, a PBS documentary, and the book Home Before The Raven Caws.
