  Richly illustrated, this book gives an inside look at the houses, house fronts and poles of the Grand Hall of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. This hall, which was developed in cooperation with the Native peoples of the Pacific Coast, presents their history and contemporary culture. The Book of the Grand Hall not only explores the development of the Grand Hall, and the construction and conservation work behind it, but it is also a fascinating look at the cultures, symbols, and beliefs of the native peoples of the Pacific Coast.
