These photos take you back to Cree life in the western James Bay area at the time of Treaty No. 9. They are from the huge collection at the Archives Deschâtelets at St. Paul University, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. If you are a young James Bay Cree, you might see your great-grandparents when they were your age.
