banff indian days found 5 records - Research Collections - Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies

Abstract: In the archival record, photographs of Banff Indian Days have been framed primarily through a Settler lens. A more balanced approach to these images and the historical analysis of Settler-Indigenous relations during this event is needed. Using an interdisciplinary approach along the methodologies inspired by Indigenous epistemologies, I presented photographs of Banff Indian Days taken by Catharine and Peter WHyte in 1945-1955 to Stoney Nakoda Elders in a series of interviews. By employing the notion of photographs as 'relational objects' as outlined by scholars such as Elizabeth Edward, I seek to understand this concept of relationality and how it aligns with Stoney Nakoda perspectives. In this case study, the voices of Stoney Nakoda Elders, Catharine Whyte (via her written letters), and myself are included as a way to refram photographs of Banff Indian Days in a multivocal and multiperspectival way.

Contents: Introduction; The Stoney Nakoda; Banff Indian Days; Foundations - theoretical and methodological; Practical methodology; Catharine and Peter Whyte; Photographic encounter; Photographs as relational; Findings; Three photographs in detail; Conclusion; Figures; Primary Sources; Archival Sources; Works Cited
