This photograph shows people wearing a mixture of European and Tsimshian dress. The two men in the back row are wearing traditional chilkat blankets trimmed with fur and frontlets or "amhalayt." The woman in the back row is wearing a button blanket made from a heavy blue Hudson Bay Company blanket trimmed with red flannel and two rows of buttons. The women in the front row are wearing European blankets fashioned in a traditional Native style. All of the people in the photograph are wearing European clothing underneath their capes. Some of these people have been identified by Doreen Robinson as: Left to right: (top) 1. Joseph Tsebassa (Doreen Robinson's grandfather) 2. unknown 3. Chief Shakes (??? Gladstone) (bottom) 1. Amelia Spencer 2. Henry Collinson's mother 3. Susan Tsebassa (Doreen Robinson's grandmother) 4. unknown 5. Harriet Moody. |

Emsley Faithful and Rhoda Faithful drying herring eggs. (This may be incorrect because the image may contain snow! It looks like it could be winter time. Herring egg harvesting would be out of season). |

Older photograph of the village taken from Eagle Rock. (Which was not named Eagle Rock at that time). The lightly coloured longhouse, shown slightly left of centre, marks the location of the current Church Army Building. |

This image was taken from the original "float" (approximately). The large building seen on the left, the Community Hall, is still standing and was used as the school gymnasium up until 1998. The small building located in front of the community hall is the school building used before the "old school" shown in the other picture gallery at this website. (You might say it was two schools ago). This school was operated by Grace Vickers (married Art). The light coloured building sits on the foundation of the existing Church Army building. |
