Fort Chipewyan 1958 - 1967

July 1963. Buildings from the left - grey sidewall of the public school, two-story home of the Indian Affairs Agent, HBCo manager's house (our home), the green "teacherage", and the Chief Factor's house - the last building from the HBCo fort. Our boats and canoes were on the lake directly in front of the house, with a landing platform painted in orange day-glo paint for night-time docking. Kodachrome, 28-10.

A post summarizing our nine years in Fort Chipewyan is being rewritten. The following link to posts during this time:
