Title

Blue Fox at Canalaska Post

Date

1933-Fall

Description

A photo of the schooner Blue Fox at Canalaska post at Walker Bay, Northwest Territories. The schooner was unable to reach mainland after spending winter 1932-33 on Banks Island, and the party left furs and note in exchange for supplies.

This photo collection was used during the interviews of the Aulavik Oral History Project to get the names of people previously not identified. The complete collection was originally obtained from Mrs Susie Sydney (formerly Mrs Susie Wolki) by Peter J. Usher (Northern Science Research Group, Indian Affairs and Northern Development) in 1968 to be held at Library and Archives Canada (then called Public Archives of Canada).
