Indians, Fort Garry
ca. 1857-1858, by William Napier
Napier was hired as an engineer on Hind's expedition
to Red River. Trained as a topographical artist, he
sketched a number of scenes while en route to Red River,
as well as different winter activities around Fort Garry
where he spent the winter of 1857-1858. In this watercolour,
Napier depicts local Indians in their traditional clothing.
