Mrs. Michele Buckshot dressed in traditional clothing at Maniwaki, Quebec

Algonquin

Maniwaki, Quebec

Label says Mrs. Buckshot was part Mohawk, but Maniwaki Algonquins intermingled with Mohawk for 150 years at Lake of Two Mountains, so they wore similar dress styles even if they weren't intermarried.

Frank Speck took this photograph while conducting fieldwork in Manawaki.
