Saulteaux 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.
