Subjects

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.
