what nice film! such a joy to see the young brothers an sisters n how fortunate they were to have a school in their homeland versus being sent away n we know what happened there..so sad..
Man I love seeing these videos. My family of Metis people were trappers of many generations. From Fawcett Lake or formerly known as Moose Lake. Tansi all!!
Interesting choice to upload the full scan! Love to see an archive favour the object not just the content.

Presumably you do a full scan for a digital archival record and a cropped one for access, but to upload the full scan is really cool!
Man I love this. Makes me feel like it’s my ancestors. My family was from around Moose Lake, and were trappers for generations.
