Historical noteTheodore Henry James Charmbury or T. H. J. as he was known, was an assistant to photographer Samuel Gray in Prince Albert for two years before starting his own studio there in 1902. He moved to Saskatoon in 1918, and was mainly a portrait photographer there until he retired in 1938. He photographed several Native leaders including Fine Day and Kahneepotaytayo. Two fires (1931, 1942) destroyed a huge portion of his negative collection.
Scope and contentSioux Dance (probably Wahpeton Dakota people) in Prince Albert, NWT [1901]. Pictured is a large group of Aboriginal men and women in ceremonial clothing dancing on main street while white settlers look on.
