The video, “A Century of Coast Salish History,” is a digital complement to the published book, Rights Remembered: A Salish Grandmother Speaks on American Indian History and the Future (University of Nebraska Press, 2016). Material in the video alternates between an interview with Pauline Hillaire, videographed in 2003, and an audio interview, recorded in 2011. The 2011 audio interview forms the soundtrack of an oral history narration accompanied by images of life at Lummi over the course of a century, beginning in 1911. The images were selected from Hillaire’s personal archives and from several institutional archives. They offer a glimpse into the changes –and the continuity– of life on the Lummi Reservation throughout the twentieth century. Hillaire opens the video singing “Red Cedar Tree Song,” and she discusses her family life. Other topics include language loss, Chinuk Wawa (Chinook Jargon), the North Pacific Coastal region, Joseph Hillaire (Joe Hillaire), Edna Hillaire (Edna Price Hillaire Scott), marriage customs, motherhood, native regalia, the Setting Sun Dancers, Frank Hillaire (Haeteluk), U.S. Indian policy, Children of the Setting Sun Dancers, Benjamin Covington (Cuth Sells), Emma Balch, longhouses, Duwamish et al. v. U.S. (1927), Lummi Tribes of Indians v. U.S. (1951, affirmed 1972), repression of ceremonial gatherings, shovelnose canoe, food, seafood, salmon, fishing, reefnet canoes, smokehouses, sacred sxwaixwe masks, Mary Ellen Hillaire, education, Longhouse Education and Cultural Center, Evergreen State College, deer, xexmein, Indian Consumption Plant, Wild Celery, colonialism, the Lummi flag, Scott Kadach’āak’u Jensen, Deborah Covington Paul (Hae’til’wit II), Western Washington University, the Iraq War (2003-2011), WWII, U.S. armed services, veterans, alcohol, prohibition, trade, rum, cotton, silk, velvet, fish, furs, survival, Indian-white relations, and the environment. Persons who appear in the photographs include Rebecca Chamberlain of Evergreen State College, Robin Wright of the Burke Museum at the University of Washington, Anna Halla (Tlingit), Mary Wagner (Saanich), Gregory Fields of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, carver Scott Jensen of Bellingham, artist Courtney Jensen of Bellingham, and Barbara Brotherton of the Seattle Art Museum. Among the final images are the Children of the Setting Sun, dancing in Pauline's honor in Washington, D.C. in 2013, when she was named the Bess Lomax Hawes National Heritage Fellow.
