I come to a photo studio where I can have my portrait taken dressed as a frontier character—fur trader, rum-runner, saloon girl, gangster, or Indian. ‘Indian’ is a popular theme, and several portraits are displayed of non-native families dressed up in buckskin and beads. In another, a man in buckskin and fur cap poses with his rifle and women wearing costumes that combine saloon-whore and squaw; beads, corset, and a bottle of Jack Daniels are balanced against fish-netted thigh while the man stands above his sitting women, gun in hand. All of these portraits articulate fantasies of a Canadian past. History in this photo studio is recreated by individuals who are given the tools to project their interpretations of native/non-native relations in to the past, thereby validating their fantasies. Each history is imagined. Authenticity is sepia-toned.
