enforcement of the Indian
Act, territory rights
infringements, development of
native tourism trade, and
legislation to ban culture
and language. The photos in
our story depict daily tasks
such as fishing, hunting,
laundry, family gatherings,
catching the train,

performance of an Indian
village for tourists, and
even stopping to change a car
tire.
   Today, there is
encouragement for embracing
being Algonquin, and our
journey along the red road to
an understanding of our
culture, traditions, language

and philosophies while
balancing life in a modern
society, stereotypes, and
loss of language. This is our
way of life – Omàmiwininì
Pimàdjwowin – the Algonquin
way of life.
