Reframing history by reconnecting relatives through archival photos
from Unreserved
In 2010, a researcher placed an ad in the Lakota Times that read, “Looking for information about mystery woman,” with a 19th century black and white photograph. In the centre of the image, a young Indigenous woman stood surrounded by six men in military uniform. The search for information identified the woman as Sophie Mousseau and led to one of her descendents, Daphne Richards-Cook. This week, Rosanna hears how reconnecting Indigenous people with their unnamed relatives in archival photos is helping reframe our understanding of history.
