A First Nations Couple from Canada
This First Nations couple agreed to be photographed by Alex Ross in 1886. That’s two years after Ross moved to Calgary, Alberta in Canada and opened up his own studio. From there, he started taking portraits of First Nation tribes like the Blackfoot and the Tsuu T’ina. The couple in this photograph were members of the tribes in this area. Unfortunately, it’s not known which tribe they belonged to as there were 48 tribes in the area at the time.
