Who are the people who make up the Anicinabe community of Lac Simon (Abitibi, Quebec)? Absent from the history books, they wanted to tell their own story. Before settling on a “reserve,” these Anicinabek lived off the resources on their territory, moving from camp to camp. This exhibition is a journey through the history, knowledge and territory of the Anicinabek families who faced the challenges of colonization.
