Enclosing Some Snapshots: The Photography of Métis Activist James Brady


  • Galt Museum & Archives (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This exhibition of James Brady’s photographs from Glenbow’s collections covers four decades, from the 1930s to 1960s, of both individual and community Métis and Cree life in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The photographs are evidence of Brady’s deep attachment and commitment to the dignity and rights of Métis peoples at a time of impoverishment and denial of rights by provincial and federal governments.
