Description

Title / Titre : Unidentified Métis Woman /

Femme métisse non identifiée

Description : According to the photographer’s records, this “half-breed” woman was a servant to Lieutenant Colonel Brown Chamberlin, the commander of the 60th Missisquoi Battalion during the Fenian raids. While most women in the late 1800s would wear their finest dresses when having their portraits taken, this woman wore a woven shawl, an emblem of the Métis community. /

Selon les archives du photographe, cette femme « de sang-mêlé » était domestique au service du lieutenant-colonel Brown Chamberlin, commandant du 60e Bataillon de Missisquoi durant les invasions des fenians. À l’époque, la plupart des femmes se faisaient photographier vêtues de leurs plus beaux atours; celle-ci porte plutôt un châle tissé, symbole de son appartenance à la communauté métisse.
