The Assiniboine and Saskatchewan Exploring Expedition - Ojibway Encampment near the Falls... 1858. Creator: Unknown
The Assiniboine and Saskatchewan Exploring Expedition - Ojibway Encampment near the Falls of the Rainy River, 1858. The Ojibways of the Lake of the Woods are the most warlike and independent tribe of this once great and powerful nation, which formerly occupied the country between Lake Huron and Red River. They still number some hundreds on the beautiful lake...from which their name is derived. Among them men of tall stature and faultless form are not uncommon. The Engraving represents a part of an encampment at the falls of Rainy River, where they assemble in the spring to catch and dry sturgeon, and in the early summer months to celebrate their medicine dances and other barbarous ceremonies. Their lodges are constructed of birch bark, supported by poles...On the right a squaw is engaged in suspending strips of sturgeon on poles to dry; and in front is a warrior, holding in his hand a stone pipe, and gazing at the white men who are quietly taking his photograph. The lodges...are about forty feet long and eighteen feet broad at the base. Each will contain several families'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Assiniboine and Saskatchewan Exploring Expedition - Ojibway Encampment near the Falls of the Rainy River, 1858," showcases the daily life of the Ojibway tribe, also known as the Chippewa, during their seasonal gathering at the falls. The Ojibways were a powerful and independent tribe, with a population of several hundreds residing around Lake of the Woods, from which they derived their name. The image reveals a scene of an Ojibway encampment, where they would assemble in the spring to catch and dry sturgeon, and in the early summer months to celebrate their medicine dances and other ceremonies. The lodges, constructed of birch bark and supported by poles, can be seen in the background. Each lodge was approximately forty feet long and eighteen feet broad at the base, housing several families. On the right side of the photograph, a squaw is depicted suspending strips of sturgeon on poles to dry. In the foreground, a warrior is shown holding a stone pipe and gazing at the white men who are quietly taking his photograph. The Ojibways were known for their tall stature and faultless form, and men of such descriptions were not uncommon among them. This photograph, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1858, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the Ojibway tribe during their seasonal encampment at the falls of Rainy River. It is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions that once thrived in the lands between Lake Huron and Red River.
