Description
Photograph showing three women smoking while sitting near a lake. According to Ejinagosi Kistabish, these people were not there for the "good tobacco", contrarily to what the initial title suggested by Father Carrière. They are undoubtedly telling each other stories, blending their life experiences and tales drawn from their imagination : Atisokan.
An almost identical picture can be found at the Atikamekw Nation Council's archives. It seems the women come from Wemotcaci.
