Knowledge shared by institutions

Edith Bevan Cross lived in Sidney on Vancouver Island, and collected Northwest Coast objects for decades, particularly between 1940 and 1960. Bevan-Cross travelled through several regions collecting representative examples of various cultural groups. She thought that her interest in collecting may have been due to her contact as a child with Salish people who lived on a reserve that her family passed though, to reach their summer camp at Cowichan Bay.
