- Scope and Contents
- The photographs in this subseries were taken by Frederick Johnson from 1927-1928 while on two collecting trips to an Algonquin reserve near the town of Golden Lake in Ontario, Canada. The trips were funded by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation. Now known as the Algonquin Pikwàkanagàn First Nation, Johnson photographed community members going about their daily life on the Reserve. This includes portraits of men, women and children posed in front of buildings; landscape views of the Bonnechere River, and Golden Lake; and the building of a birchbark canoe by Basil Aird and family. There are a number of photographs of Matthew (Matt) Bernard, chief between 1914-1925, and his family. Many of the sitters have been identified and are named in the descriptions.
