Neatly extracted from a bound volume and expertly mended. Small repair to corner of general title leaf. The Indian Act, 1884 was a significant departure from traditional Native policy, and constituted a direct attack on Native culture. The Act prohibited the celebration of the west coast Native festival known as the Potlatch and the Native dance known as the Tamanawas, and anyone involved directly or indirectly with Potlatches or dances could face jail terms of between two and six months. The Potlatch was a complex ceremony practiced by west coast tribes in British Columbia that involved the gifting, feasting, and dancing as part of larger celebrations for important social and political events. The Tamanawas dances were equally complicated ceremonies involving supernatural elements and initiation rituals. Christian missionaries saw the sharing of wealth and food at Potlatches as excessive and wasteful and considered the Tamanawas dances to be symbolic of Native savagery and primitiveness, and together were viewed as obstructions to Native assimilation. During a period of intense official enforcement of the laws, a six-day Potlatch in 1921 in celebration of a wedding at Alert Bay, B.C. was raided by Indian Agents and 50 people were arrested. Hundreds of Potlatch items were confiscated (including valuable masks, costumes, and coppers) and 22 people were incarcerated for two months. The laws proved devastating to Native culture: they lost many important religious and historical artifacts and were prevented from passing down their cultural practices, traditions, and oral history. Restrictions on the Potlatch and Tamanawas dances continued for more than 65 years until they were repealed by the Indian Act, 1951. The Indian Advancement Act, 1884 conferred certain privileges for Indian Bands thought to be more advanced in their assimilation into white Euro-Canadian society, with the view of training them for municipal affairs. It gave Band Councils the power to levy taxes and extend their influence over policing and public health matters, but most bands refused to adopt the provisions. In the end, rather than educating and empowering Natives in self-government matters, the Act greatly enlarged the powers of the Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs to direct all aspects of elections, and to summons, participate in, and adjourn Band Council meetings.

Oblong 12mo. 6.25 x 4.25 in. [20 pp (unpaginated).], leporello accordion-style colour-illustrated plates reproducing Lowman & Hanford RPPC's, encased in colour-printed portfolio softcovers, w/ cover art image of "Largest Nuggets Ever Found in Alaska" (slight shelfwear, very slight age-toning), still VG copy. First edition, thus, of this scarce Golden Potlatch postcard souvenir, which cheerfully illustrates and presents the efforts of the Tillikums (friends in Chinook Jargon) to present this Seattle-based festival from 1911 until suspension after 1913 due to the onset of World War I. Many of the organizers and participants in the Golden Potlatch dressed in stereotypical imitations of traditional Native attire, and at the time, this appropriation of Native cultural artifacts and customs was not uncommon in the Americas to market products and businesses, as seen most clearly by the "human zoos" maintained at the St. Louis World's Fair 1904, the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition two years prior, and many others. Dating in this case is aided by the image by Nowell & Rognon of the Curtiss Biplane piloted by Eugene B. Ely over the USS West Virginia in July, 1911. Of particular interest in this piece are the postcard images produced produced in Seattle of a Japanese-American floats for the Golden Potlatch in 1911 depicting a horse-drawn float with wisteria vines growing across the float, and kimono clad Japanese seated within, and another image of the Yakima Indian tribe parading in full regalia in the parade. The Golden Potlatch week was filled with "industrial parades, motorboat races, fraternal parades, fancy drills, log rolling contests, Native American dances, and Airplane and Hydroplane flights.
