    Photographic portraits of Cree and Inuit taken at the turn of the century by a photographer who lived among them. A clerk with the Hudson's Bay Company, Chesterfield moved to Great Whale River in 1902 where he took more then 200 photographs. His insistence on a straightforward mode of portraiture gives the work an uncommon power, suggesting an almost documentary intent. Chesterfield's own writings confirms his concern at finding these Northern peoples in a state of economic and cultural deprivation. His relentless depiction of the bleakness of poverty with no trace of sentimentality gives these portraits political connotations, reminding us of the later work of Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans
