Beauty aids for women are
many and varied today but they
are seldom as extreme as those
employed by early British Colum-
bia Indians.

In one interior tribe, the Car-
riers, both sexes perforated their
noses. The first white explorers
reported the men often suspended
an ornament from their noses, The
women woulc run a pin through
and wear a kind of shell bead on
each end,

Some of the most detailed ac-
counts of these Indian fashions
and all other aspects of native
living, were left by the pen of
Daniel Williams Harmon, fur trad-
er and author who came to New
Caledonia in 1810. He told also
of the Flat-heads, a Columbia
River tribe. By fixing boards on
the heads of their children, he
wrote, “they compress them in
such a manner as to cause them

DANIEL WILLIAMS HARMON

to assume the form of a wedge.”

Harmon described another trite,
the Nate-cte-taing who would
pierce the lower lips of their
daughters and insert in the hole
a piece of wood in the shape of
a wheel, enlarging it as the girls
grew up. A woman of 80 years
would wear one almost the size
of a silver dollar.

Harmon was born in Vermont.
He joined the Northwest Company
in 1800 when he was 21 then
spent 19 years in the northwest.
His journals were published in
1820. He had married a French-
Indian maid of 14 in 1805 and had
14 children. He died in 1848 on
the shores of Lake Champlain
where he settled on retirement,

His journals depict his life at
prairie forts, on the Peace River
and at Fort St. James on Stuart
Lake and they are still fascinating
reading today.
