At left, an Anglo person holds his hat at his side, looking down as well. A priest walks up in center. And the Indians march up the hill, wrapped against the chill, heads bowed. We see the array of tents, with a train on the tracks along the river.

Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

N. Caple & Co : Norman Caple came to Toronto in 1888 and formed partnership with Trueman in 1889 on West Coast. Their partnership ended in 1894 when Caple began marketing under his name only. The negatives were probably either taken by Trueman or Caple. We can't tell which prints were by either photographers. Prints usually had number and title in photo; Vancouver City Archives has negatives and they are in poor condition. Prints are relatively rare, more Trueman prints, than Caple, have surfaced. National Gallery of Canada has some Trueman photographs, National Archives of Canada have other Caple photographs. From photographer's file
