 Community
Life
Bern
Will Brown lived in and visited most of the communities in the
western Northwest Territories as well as several in the remote
reaches of northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. His photos, both
in black and white and colour, portray the daily lives of northerners
at work and play in their home communities. Bern Will Brown’s
obvious enjoyment of the people of the area comes through in
every photo.
In
the 1950s and 60s the difference between “bush” life
and “town” life was much less visible than it is today.
Bern’s photos of this era give a very clear impression of
the importance of family and work in the daily lives of all northerners.
