Judith Crawley interviews Dr. Marius Barbeau in his Ottawa home concerning: how he became the first French-Canadian Rhodes Scholar; his introduction to anthropology and folklore at Oxford University; how the Honorable Sydney Fisher helped to get him a job as Canada's first anthropologist at the National Museum in Ottawa, a position he has held since 1911; his problems in having his folksongs and artifacts appreciated by museums; his contacts with Canadian artists such as Emily Carr, A.Y. Jackson and Arthur Lismer; the meaning of some West Coast Indian totem poles and masks; and his work in initiating overseas exhibitions. Barbeau sings several Canadian folksongs, accompanying himself on an Indian drum. <30mn>
