Custodial History

Photo was originally taken by Interior News staff for publication in the paper. It was retained by the News until being transferred to the Bulkley Valley Museum, likely in 2007, as part of a large donation of photographs, negatives, and textual records. Item was stored in Room 6 until being found in collections and accessioned in Fall 2020.

Scope and Content

Held at the Nangeese River Bridge. Among those present was Alice Kruta Sr. (Aagut), a chief of the Fireweed Clan (Wilps Tsibaasa) of Kispiox Village.

Arrangement

Item was found in an envelope with other photographs from the same date. All photographs in this series have been removed from original order and arranged in the order in which they were scanned.
