LaVérendrye tribe in ceremonial dance at Fort Garry, 1938, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, (CSTM/CN005692)Winnipeg
July 10, 1937
Dear Ellie,
I am still in Winnipeg, waiting for my trip to begin - only a few days now! Last night your aunt, uncle and I went to Fort Garry and watched an Indian snake dance. This was a site to behold! My interest in Indians is great, as you well know, and I very much wanted to talk to them. The snake dance was originally a war dance, but has been sped up and made into a contest.
Love,
James
