EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the early 1920s and the Lake Superior Chippewa encampment on the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin, USA. The Lake Superior Chippewa, also known as the Anishinaabe or Gichigamiwininiwag, are an historical band of Ojibwe Indians who have lived in the region for centuries. In this image, we see a group of Chippewa men and women gathered around their homes, built as simple huts or houses, nestled among the trees. The great expanse of Lake Superior stretches out before them, its glassy surface reflecting the clear blue sky above. The Apostle Islands, a cluster of twenty-two islands located in Lake Superior, provide a picturesque backdrop to this peaceful scene. The Lake Superior Chippewa were known for their strong connection to the land and water, and their traditional way of life revolved around fishing, hunting, and gathering wild rice. This encampment on the islands was likely a seasonal one, with the Chippewa people traveling to other areas during different parts of the year to hunt, fish, and gather resources. Despite the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place in the region, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Lake Superior Chippewa and the Anishinaabe people as a whole.
