EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time as Indigenous peoples of the Anishinaabe and Ojibwe nations engage in traditional fishing practices along the rapids of the St. Marys River in Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario, Canada, in 1901. The St. Marys River forms the boundary between Ontario and Michigan, United States, and has long been a vital source of food and livelihood for Indigenous communities. In the image, several fishermen can be seen standing in small, shallow boats, skillfully maneuvering their spears to catch fish as they navigate the turbulent rapids. The men's expressions are focused and determined, their bodies poised for action as they work in harmony with the natural environment. The bridge in the background, which spans the river and connects Ontario to Michigan, serves as a reminder of the cultural and geographical significance of this location. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Indigenous peoples in the region, and their deep connection to the land and water. This image is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving Indigenous cultures and traditions, and the role that they continue to play in shaping the history and identity of Canada and the United States. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a time when Indigenous peoples' ways of life were still largely unchanged by the encroachment of modernity.
