Charlie's photo description: Foot race. The first one is my father-in-law, George Sibbeston.
He run like a deer that guy. And the next one there with a white shirt, he was George McPherson.
And the one standing there watching with his back was Johnny McPherson. He was interpreter
for the Hudson's Bay all his life. The one behind that looks like Helge Carlson. Johnny I think
was born over at Fort Franklin [Deline] but he always worked for the Hudson's Bay.
Caption Source: Charlie Hansen interview
Photographer: unknown but probably Charlie due sharpness falloff towards corners
WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 06: George Sibbeston, the man in the lead, became Charlie's
father-in-law when he married Edna Sibbeston.

This item is the thirteenth part of a twenty-nine-part recording of a portion of a Metis Association Board meeting, held ca. September 1974 in Fort Resolution. The original source item is side A of a 40 minute audio cassette. The meeting also includes items CN-475A, CN-475B, CN-476A, CN-476B, CN-248A, CN-248B, CN-23A, CN-23B, CN-249A, CN-249B, CN-250A, CN-250B, CN-251B, CN-252A, CN-252B, CN-477A, CN-477B, CN-253A, CN-253B, CN-478A, CN-478B, CN-343A, CN-343B, CN-254A, CN-254B, CN-255A, CN-255B, and CN-256A. The recording continues with a presentation by George Talbot on the territorial Department of Recreation (within the Department of Local Government) and its policies to provide supports and grants to communities. There is some discussion over who was sent and has received copies of the "Recreation North" discussion paper. The Fort Resolution group is also eager to get their application for a covered skating rink submitted and there is discussion on how they can do that with Talbot's assistance. The meeting then turns to the Winter Warmth program run by the Metis Association. Shirley Zuba is introduced as the new Housing Coordinator to replace Richard Cadieux, as he had become ill and the program had fallen into disarray. It is explained that communities are assigned a budget and can spend within it on labour and materials as they see fit. There are some questions related to specific situations. Some meeting participants are hard to hear and the recording ends abruptly.

This recording includes sides A and B of the tape.

Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 25. Gus and his dog Snoodles. The dog doesn't show up very good. But that's a good picture of Gus.

Photographer: Milton J. Campbell

WDA's Comments, 2013 Sep 11: G. C. F. Dalziel appeared in their camp one winter day supposedly on his trek from Lower Post to Fort Norman. Dal traded Snoodles, still a pup, for some food to allow him to go on. Snoodles became famous as a big, strong, friendly pack dog. If the ground was firm and not too rough he packed up to 100 pounds in his saddle bags.

I say Dal was "supposedly" on his trek from Lower Post to Fort Norman because Dal described his trek across the mountains as a summer one in my interview with him. Despite that, a number of old-timers have erroneously said it was a winter trek. In 1934-35 Dal was trapping in the Coal River and upper Caribou River country which was not very far away, so he could have easily appeared at the Bennett Creek camp. Lodema George describes Dal appearing at Bennett Creek in February, 1935, as does Dal himself. Snoodles is still a pup in this photo.
