The Indigenous Archival Photo Project has collected thousands of images of Native peoples across Canada and the United States, rescuing these images from anonymity and connecting people with their heritage and loved ones.
The Indigenous Archival Photo Project began in 2015, when the Willow Cree writer Paul Seesequasis had a conversation with his mother about the way Native peoples were depicted in Canadian media.
"The strength of family and culture that has kept our traditions alive is so strong, and we weren't seeing any images of that in mainstream media at that time.” The result was the Indigenous Archival Photo Project, which has grown into a collection of thousands of images of “First Nations, Metis and Inuit individuals and communities, from the turn of the century through to the late 1970s,” throughout Canada and the U.S.many people reached out to identify themselves or their family members and offer the story behind the image.
