1960s,\u00a0travelled with a camera, recording life in Anishinaabe, Cree, and\u00a0Anisininew\u00a0communities during a period of intense and rapid change.\u00a0The people of Attawapiskat, Sandy Lake, Mattagami, and\u00a0other places\u00a0across the Hudson Bay watershed are revealed through his lens in ways that emphasize the warmth and continuity of\u00a0Indigenous\u00a0community life.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Paul Seesequasis<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, a\u00a0n\u00eepis\u00eehkop\u00e2wiyiniw\u00a0(Willow Cree) curator, writer, journalist, cultural advocate, and commentator, came across Macfie\u2019s photography while\u00a0conducting\u00a0image research at the Archives of Ontario. Building on his acclaimed Indigenous Archival Photo Project and\u00a0a\u00a0years-long correspondence with Macfie, Seesequasis\u00a0presented his\u00a0exhibition of Macfie\u2019s photography at the McMichael in 2024, and it is\u00a0currently\u00a0travelling\u00a0on\u00a0a\u00a0seven-venue tour\u00a0across Ontario. The following is an excerpt from\u00a0Seesequasis\u2019s\u00a0essay for the accompanying catalogue:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Macfie understood from the beginning of his time in the\u00a0watershed region that this way of life was passing into history, and this realization inspired him to capture it in photographs\u2014to make a record not just of the way things were done but, importantly, the people who did them. The longevity of this extended project, a full decade, is also remarkable. That and his sense of vocation created a connection to his subjects that would not have been possible were he just an outsider passing through. After a time, people knew who he was. He developed friendships. Macfie\u00a0was interested in\u00a0everything, and\u00a0was always curious to know more about the people he met.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">People of the Watershed\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">is the first exhibition focused on Macfie\u2019s photographs. Seen together, they form an ambitious, wide-ranging visual account of the people, the lands, and the life of\u00a0the watershed. Yet there is an intimacy here. This is the product of an\u00a0attachment built over time: it feels less like an investigation and more like immersion, as if the photographer were trying\u00a0to explore not only the community but also his own sense of belonging. \u201cI do not propose to depict a time that is either better or worse than any other,\u201d Macfie writes with a typical lack of sentimentality. \u201cThe collection simply represents one moment in the continuing evolution of the lifestyle of the northern Algonquians of this region.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One might call Macfie a journalist of the people. He had no wish to write about politicians or the powerful, but rather about working people and the land that shaped their lives. After a decade in the northwest of the province, the Macfies finally settled in Parry Sound. Macfie wrote popular columns for the Georgian Bay\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Beacon\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">and the Parry Sound\u00a0<\/span><i><span

Sound, he not only listened, he specifically engaged people and sought their stories,\u201d his friend Andy Houser recalled.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
