Small painted model paddle carved from a single piece of wood. Front painted with formline-style design in black and blue. Initials 'F.A.' and two sets of diagonal painted bands in blue and black on the reverse.

Watercolour painting depicting Fort Simpson and the village of Lax Kw'alaams. The image shows a coastal inlet with Tsimshian village houses built all around the shore, along with a large fort on the left, with "H.G.Co. S FORT" hand-printed on its wall. In the foreground there are two Tsimshian people sitting on the ground holding the end of a bird trap that runs to the right of the foreground, with two birds near the trap itself. Most of the houses have blue smoke coming out of the smoke-holes. There are canoes pulled up along the shore, as well as two in the water. A large rigged sailing vessel is anchored inside the inlet. Hand printed on the front lower right corner is "FORT SIMPSON .B.C. in 1831. Drawn by Frederick Alexcee". In the background, in the water, is a steamship with a plume of black smoke coming out its pipe. There is one settler-style house in the background on the left, behind the fort. A green mountain range runs across the horizon. The painting is on thin, somewhat flexible board.

Carved and painted model totem pole. Pole has an eagle at top, wings at sides, feet planted on a small bentwood box. The box is balanced on the head of a human, with protruding nose and painted features, wearing a shoulder cloak. With his hands and feet the man grips a downward facing whale. The whale has a green and black torso with carved and painted eyes and open mouth showing clenched white teeth behind red lips. Its nose plunges into the pole’s rectangular wooden stand which is painted red and green. The back of the pole has been partially hollowed out.

Hand painted glass lantern slide. A 3-sided rectangular wooden frame holds the irregular or broken glass plate that has been hand painted on the back. The scene shows a First Nations chief being shot, with a gun right on the side of his head. He is wearing a red scarf, brown jacket and tall animal skin headdress, on a black background. The gun is held by an arm emerging from the right. The glass is held to the frame by grooves in the wood as well as small pieces of tin inserted in the wood behind the pane. An irregularly shaped wood bar crosses over the back side of the glass, glued to the frame at top and bottom.

Hand painted glass lantern slide. The square plate shows an image of a grey bear in combat with two humans. The bear stands upright, in contact with a man in a blue cloak, bleeding, who is stabbing the bear’s chest and stomach with a long spear. The bear bleeds from the spear wound, as well as from its mouth. The second figure stands behind the first and hefts a spear at shoulder level, aimed at the bear. The background of the image is black. (No frame.)

Hand painted glass lantern slide. Part a is glass slide covered with an image of two human figures in red skirts and sashes to the left of a full, grey moon. The leftmost figure leaps in the air, arms extended. The second figure is in front of the moon, facing left. The background of the image is black at top, brown at bottom. Part c is a second glass slide pointed at one end, with a black painted area in the lower centre. When matched with part a, the black part covers the leaping figure, leaving just the figure who appears to be 'carrying' the moon with a burden belt? Part b is a broken corner of part a. (No frame; irregularly shaped or broken glass.)

Drawing in charcoal, on thick paper. The image is of a boat and small canoe caught in a storm, large waves crashing, while a beam of sunlight appears at the top right corner. Three figures are visible on deck of the boat, which is identified in writing below the image as the S.S. Glad Tidings.

Viola Garfield recorded this explanation of the house model: "The model was made by Fred Alexcee, Port Simpson, British Columbia, in 1934 for Viola E. Garfield. It represents a house with a potlatch in progress. At the back of the house is a dancer dressed in Chilkat blanket and ermine headdress accompanied by a drummer using a large box drum suspended from a beam. A chorus of women is seated on the left and a director with dance baton stands back of the dancer. In front of the house is a greeter with dance baton to direct guests to their seats. The seated figure has no special significance. (These two figures had limpet shells on their heads to represent spruce root hats.) The housefront painting represents a grizzly bear, crest of the maker of the model and his lineage. The small faces bordering the bear's face represent skulls of ancestors. Hexagonals connected by black bars above represent bones of the knees and lower limbs. These are the skeletons of ancestors who killed many mountain goats and left them to rot. In revenge, and to teach them a lesson in respect of animals, the mountain goats caused a mountain slide that destroyed many people. The facade pole on the right of the doorway represents a shaman with cedar bark head band and blanket holding a symbol of his supernatural power. The bird figure at the base is a crane. I do not recall the significance of the figures on the other pole, but they probably represent a dancer at the top and a grizzly bear at the base." Viola E. Garfield, Oct. 9, 1957 The design on the front of the house seems to be based on the design of the interior "Rain Screen" of the Gaanaxteidi Tlingit Whale House from Klukwan, Alaska. The small pole to the right seems to be based on the "Woodworm House Post," one of four interior house posts from that same house. It may be that Alexcee was looking at a photo of that house interior when he made his model, but interpreted it to match his own family history. Robin K. Wright, Feb. 8, 2006.
