Pauline Johnson is a collection of Indigenous legends and tales drawn from the oral traditions of the Coast Salish peoples, written during the late 19th century. The book presents a blend of semi-historical narratives and romantic elements, allowing readers to see the natural beauty of Vancouver and its surroundings through the lens of these enchanting stories. The narratives pay homage to characters such as Chief Joe Capilano, who shared these legends, and reflect the deep cultural roots and beliefs of the Indigenous communities of the region. The opening of the book includes prefaces from both the publisher and the author, expressing the significance of the legends and the role of Chief Joe Capilano in sharing them. Johnson introduces her connection with the Chief as integral to her collection, sharing that these tales were passed on to her in a personal manner. The introductory chapters begin to weave the tales of local landmarks, detailing the legends of "The Lions of Vancouver" and "Siwash Rock," among others. These stories establish a sense of place, linking the mountains, rivers, and cultural identity of the First Nations peoples with their landscapes, highlighting themes of beauty, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of the community.
