A photograph from a trip to Nose Mountain. Ann Roberts writes on the back: "Two Cree families accompanied us on our trip. They killed out meat--moose, deer, bear, porcupine and skunk--and picked cranberries and blueberries for us. They pitched our tents and packed our horses. Last, but not least they were our guides."
