Caughnawaga – Natural Kodachrome Vintage Postcard
This is a relatively modern postcard with the following text on the back: Caughnawaga: The Chief And His Tribe In “Roti-tsien-ha-len” Council.
This week I was working on some genealogy for someone who mentioned that one of their relatives had supposedly been an entertainer at the Chief Poking Fire Museum. Although this card does not mention the museum, I do wonder whether this was a souvenir that was sold there.

ABOUT ME
I’m Evelyn Yvonne Theriault, a teacher who lives near Montreal, Quebec. I belong to a wonderful family so I’ve combined my two loves into one hobby – family history & genealogy. This site has two main purposes. The first is to share the Canadian Family Vintage Postcard Collection and to encourage the use of postcards by family historians and genealogists through activities such as the online magazine – A Festival of Postcards. The second is to share my personal genealogy & family history information and to help others who are researching Acadians & French Canadians of Quebec and New Brunswick.

What an interesting postcard. I think I’m most surprised to see the young children on it as part of the “council”, but maybe council doesn’t mean what I would expect.
The costumes are wonderful. Happy PFF.
It is very interesting! I’m wondering if they still doing this these days.
Very interesting and colorful. I noticed most were solemn except for the little guy with the smile on the right! Happy PFF!
Interesting! Seems also like a Boy Scout group.
Happy PFF!
What a marvelous postcard! I was quite intrigued.
Happy PFF!
I’m so intrigued with your research, and a great card as well. Thank you.
Beautiful headdresses and a beautiful card. There was an exhibit this past year at the Smithsonian of beading, and I wonder if any of the work of those artisans that you saw were included.
I’m always slightly concerned when traditions have to be used as entertainment. It’s one way to keep them alive I suppose but I wish we could take more care of our collective histories.
