Scope and content
SUMMARY: "Between Ourselves" was a weekly series of hour-long radio programs that presented Canada to Canadians. It featured aspects of Canadian life in docudramas, plays, music, and interviews, originating from different regions of Canada. The series ran from 1966 to 1979. This episode examines the history and meaning of Haida totems, and documents the creation of a new totem pole at Masset in 1969. Master carver Robert Davidson discusses how he learned to carve and learned more about his Haida culture; the selection and preparation of the tree; and the totem's design, which was based on the "grizzly bear mother" story. Recording on-site in August 1969, Imbert Orchard describes the raising of the pole, and captures the sounds, songs, dances and ceremonies involved. This event was the first pole raising at Masset within living memory. Other interviewees include: Dr. Peter Kelly, Joseph Weah, and Barbara Wilson.
