Fort Liard


Former Hudson's Bay post

Spent a week in Fort Liard teaching photography to some of the local youth. Many communities still have buildings from the Hudson's Bay Company. Like this one, originally established in 1826, the company would build several warehouses to store trade goods and furs so that in case of fire, not all would be lost should a building burn.


Smoking fish and moose.

Smoked, dried fish and meat is still a method used for preserving food in some parts of the north.
