Fort St Marie de Grace (1632) ... LaHave, Nova Scotia
No longer does it seem possible to replicate the beautiful early-and-now-old-iconic photographs of yesteryear's Indians. They bear the names of Ellen and Carolyn and Alden and they have blue eyes and blonde hair. When I asked this lady of Mikmaq heritage if I might photograph her by the tepee, she said she'd like to set her baskets in the photo also. I was delighted with the image!
I knew enough people at this event, that I'll get their photos to them. Via my camera and photography, I love the niche I've made for myself here.
Great idea to record this history Louise. I love the way you've processed this shot to look so old and dated in terms of colour, but clear in all detail.
