The accession includes eighteen letters from Pauline Johnson, an important nineteenth century poet of Mohawk and English descent who was born and raised on the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford, Ontario. The letters describe her burgeoning literary career and document her enthusiasm for the theatre. They reflect her passionate defence of aboriginal rights and her belief in equality for women. Other material includes a pamphlet about the Pauline Johnson Trust Fund ca. 1911, two letters from Johnson's sister, Evelyn, written after Pauline's death in 1913, and a letter from Pauline Johnson's first biographer, Mrs. W. Garland Foster 1934. There are also some newpaper clippings and a manuscript of a piece of doggerel verse, probably by Archie Kains.
