Murat. In regards to your post of Nov 2, 2010 of the photo of an Ojibway Woman.Re: Lecours collection. This photo is of one of the elders from Pic Mobert FN. Probably around the mid fifties. Mobert is about 40 miles from Pic R FN. The 2 communities inter-related. I saw many paddles of this type made in our community ( Pic R FN )when I was a kid. Usually made of cedar. Not too strong but easy to make and light. As for Ms Lecours she had quite a collection of photos, interviews , tapes etc that she made in the 2 communities.
The photo is from the Canadian Museum of Civilization Library and Archives. I did a search in the box for "Ojibwa" and "Canoe" and found the pic there.
how old is the paddle shes holding
