- Summary
- "Of great historical and aesthetic interest, this amazing collection of photographs captures the diversity and dignity of Canada's First Nations during a time of tumultuous change. Assembled by Edward Cavell, a former curator of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in Banff, Alberta, the photographs span the period from the infancy of the art form in the 1850s to the more sophisticated technology of 1920. The poignant and beautiful record of First Nations people and their culture, as seen through the eyes of talented photographers, is a fascinating glimpse into Canada's past."--Jacket.
