Photographic record of the meetings between His Majesty the Aliʻi Nui and the hereditary chiefs and families of the First Nations of Turtle Island
Collection Record
Plates documenting the Indigenous-to-Indigenous meetings between the Polynesian Kingdom of Atooi and the First Nations of Turtle Island, including the formal audience with a hereditary chief at the inter-tribal convocation and the kindred gathering of the chiefly household within the snow-bound forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Photographic Evidence
What a photograph may establish
Presence, a meeting, a ceremony, a delegation, a gathering, and shared participation, as recorded in the image and its caption.
What a photograph alone does not establish
Formal state recognition, government endorsement, recognition by the United Nations, interstate treaty status, or legal jurisdiction.
Traditional, ceremonial, and cultural significance recorded in these plates is documented on its own terms and is not diminished by this note.
