Quill Work Living Archive
From 1900 to 1960, Georgian Bay, Ontario experienced a convergence of three distinct populations; Shawanaga Ojibwe Indians (Aneshnabe) , Canadian fishermen and American Tourists. The Ojibwe abundantly created quill and birch boxes with decorations that depicted many symbols of these interactions and the changing environment. This photographic archive contains images of the quillwork done during this time.
