Description: "La Loche tepees" was taken on June 30 or July 1, 1918 in La Loche, Saskatchewan by the Franklin Kitto Expedition. Kitto's description: "Arriving at the mission we found that a couple of priests from Lac La Plonge were here conducting a series of services extending over a period of two weeks, and the Indians from the whole country-side to the extent of two or three hundred were gathered in attendance. Row after row of tepees lined the beach or clustered about the few wooden buildings of the post (Revillon Freres). The entire families had come from far and near bringing all their worldly possessions with them and the place was alive with children and dogs. A storm broke shortly after our arrival compelling us to make camp and to remain with this community until the evening of the next day."
