An Indigenous family standing on the platform of a train station in northern Ontario. Caption in album reads: "Indian family in northern Ontario." Caption on back of photo reads: "Indian family in northern Ontario; 8/42."

Indigenous dancers at the "Doon Jamboree" at Brantford, Ontario in the 1950s. A crowd looks on, surrounding the dancers who are on a raised platform. Original archival description reads "Brantford Reserve Indians. Brantford, Ontario. Taken in 1950s. Hunsberger photo 17-10." Thus the dancers are probably Grand River Haudenosaunee (Six Nations). The man standing on the platform (third from left) is possibly Haudenosaunee chief Peter Sky.

Original archival description reads "Making chiefs on the Brantford Reserve. Mayor of Galt, Howie Meeker, Chief Sky of Brantford. Brantford, Ontario, during the 1950s. Hunsberger photo 17-11." This photograph appears to be taken at the same "Doon Jamboree" event as DH-648. Four men and a woman stand on a platform while a crowd looks on. The man on the far right, in traditional Indigenous dress, is possibly Haudenosaunee chief Peter Sky. Facing him are three men in western dress wearing Indigenous headdresses. A woman is adjusting the headdress of one of the men; he is possibly the hockey player and Member of Parliament Howie Meeker. One of the other men is probably the mayor of Galt, Ontario.
