A set of 102 photos of Mary Eninew showing the making of birch syrup. In the spring when the sap begins to rise it is time to make birch syrup. Winter cabins are small and cramped and families often move out to a spring camp. The men and older boys would go hunting for fresh meat around the shore in a canoe, bringing back ducks, grouse, and small animals. The women and children would enjoy the freedom of being outside as they gathered birch sap and made syrup. The syrup will be a delicious treat on hot bannock!
A set of 77 photographs taken in the small community of Sucker River, north of La Ronge, in 1975-76. The community mounted a project to make as many "old things" as the 14 participants in the project could remember from the old days. Many of the objects were made as models, as time and materials did not allow for full-size items.
