- Scope and Contents
- The photographs in this subseries were taken in the summer of 1929 among the Algonquins of Barriere Lake (Lac Barriere) in Outaouais, Quebec. The Barriere Lake band was moved to the Lac Rapide Reserve in 1961. The majority of the photographs are outdoor portraits of men, women and children posed on the reserve, with quite a few of Chief David Makokus and his family. There are also photographs of a canoe in the course of construction and an archaeological site that was slated to be flooded for a hydroelectric dam. Many of the people photographed have been identified and are named in the descriptions. Some identifications were made in 1989 by Barriere Lake community members including canoemaker Jim Jerome.
