Color photograph of the exterior of the Indians of Canada Pavilion at Expo 67. The pavilion is in the form of an abstracted tipi, with bright blue steel beams serving as “poles” and white vinyl cladding. Other elements of the pavilion are clad in cedar boards, with artwork hung or painted directly on the surface. A totem pole emerges from behind part of the pavilion and a crowd of visitors is lined up in front.
