- Scope and Contents
- The photograph in this subseries were taken by Frederick Johnson in the summer of 1928 on the Wasauksing First Nation reserve (Parry Island First Nation) on Parry Island in Ontario. Johnson photographed Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) and Potawatomi residents on Parry Island as well as scenic views on the reserve. This includes portraits of men, women and children; views of houses, outbuildings and churches; and landscape views of the reserve and Hay Bay. There are also photographs in Parry Sound of Parry Island community members selling birchbark boxes and baskets to tourists. Many of the people photographed have been identified and are named in the descriptions, though many of the group photographs remain unidentified. There are also photographs of graves and grave houses in this series. These have been restricted due to cultural sensitivity.
