Material by Henry Youle Hind and William George Richardson Hind. The contents of the collection were owned by Henry Youle Hind. Notebook, believed to be written by H. Y. Hind is arranged like an encyclopedia and includes information and drawings regarding Canadian Indians. It contains entries on may aspects of Indian life and culture and is indexed at the beginning. Topics include utensils, hunting implements, instruments, weapons, canoes, games, frostbite, marriage, sneezing, treatment of women, juggling, and naming children. Also includes a printed catalogue of books, pamphlets, and objects contained in the library of Henry Youle Hind, with notes about the sale of some of the objects. A printed leaf, 207 and 208, from a report titled Saskatchewan Exploring Expedition, Reports of the Assinniboine. Page 207 lists watercolor drawings and photographs that accompanied the report, including watercolors drawn by William Hind. Two pages of drawings prepared for a book, or report containing drawings of Indian objects such as pipes, a Sioux scalp, and medicine rattle, presumably by William Hind. Two lithographs of paintings signed W. G. R. Hind with provenance on reverse. The paintings were drawn on the Hinds Tableland of the Labrador expedition in 1862. One painting shows the hunting of an elk; the other depicts the Nascapie [sic] Indians in Utelue's lodge with H. Y. Hind.
