- Abstract
- A revelatory portrait of eight Indigenous communities from across North America, shown through never-before-published archival photographs--a gorgeous extension of Paul Seesequasis's popular social media project. In 2015, writer and journalist Paul Seesequasis found himself grappling with the devastating findings of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission report on the residential school system. He sought understanding and inspiration in the stories of his mother, herself a residential school survivor. Gradually, Paul realized that another, mostly untold history existed alongside the official one: that of how Indigenous peoples and communities had held together during even the most difficult times. He embarked on a social media project to collect archival photos capturing everyday life in First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities from the 1920s through the 1970s. As he scoured archives and libraries, Paul uncovered a trove of candid images and began to post these on social media, where they sparked an extraordinary reaction. Friends and relatives of the individuals in the photographs commented online, and through this dialogue, rich histories came to light for the first time. Blanket Toss Under Midnight Sun collects some of the most arresting images and stories from Paul's project. While many of the photographs live in public archives, most have never been shown to the people in the communities they represent. As such, Blanket Toss is not only an invaluable historical record, it is a meaningful act of reclamation, showing the ongoing resilience of Indigenous communities, past, present--and future.

- 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.

- Abstract
- Collections of archival photographs have the capacity to provide multiple or alternative histories. In their photographic representations of Indigenous peoples, settler archives can provide a site for revealing the multilayered, fluid meanings. My case study is a group of early twentieth-century photographs (1903 - 1929) depicting members of the I~ya~he´ Nakoda First Nation from the Byron Harmon Photographic collection at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies. By employing interdisciplinary methodologies with an overarching focus on writing the cultural biography of historical photographs, I perform a self-reflexive interrogation of this collection. I argue for a pluralized examination of historical photographs and photographic archives as a way to create new understandings of the past.
