Bringing the Legends home Legends of the Capilano updates E.
Pauline Johnson’s 1911 classic Legends of Vancouver, restoring
Johnson’s intended title for the first time. This new edition
celebrates the storytelling abilities of Johnson’s Skwxwú7mesh
(Squamish) collaborators, Joe and Mary Capilano, and supplements
the original fifteen legends with five additional stories narrated
solely or in part by Mary Capilano, highlighting her previously
overlooked contributions to the book. Alongside photographs and
biographical entries for E. Pauline Johnson, Joe Capilano, and Mary
Capilano, editor Alix Shield provides a detailed publishing history
of Legends since its first appearance in 1911. Interviews with
literary scholar Rick Monture (Mohawk) and archaeologist Rudy
Reimer (Skwxwú7mesh) further considers the legacy of Legends in
both scholars’ home communities. Compiled in consultation with
the Mathias family, the direct descendants of Joe and Mary Capilano
and members of the Skwxwú7mesh Nation, this edition reframes,
reconnects, and reclaims the stewardship of these stories.
