1955-1968
The photographs were taken by Gladys Vear during her residency at Discovery Mine, Northwest Territories, between 1955-1968. Mrs. Vear was an active member of the Discovery Mines chapter of the Women's Institute, and she travelled to various arctic communities (Tuktoyaktuk and Coppermine) to speak with Aboriginal women and instruct them on electric sewing machines.
