CANADA. Lambton County, Ontario. 1992. Ann TOWELL is seen through the windshield of the car standing in front of the house. I had just installed two used cedar windows in the bedroom. They were handmade and were free. In the winter of 1995/96 we tore off the old cedar siding and replaced it with pine. I painted flowers on the new window trim. The house was built about 100 years ago by pioneer land surveyor Samuel Smith. He was working for the British Crown carving the land into townships. Local Indians knew at the time what was happening but could do nothing. On the farm there are 3 Indian village sites and a native burial ground that were covered with soybeans when we moved in. They are now in black locust trees and gardens that I planted. Naomi is in the right hand corner of the frame. She always jumps into the car when I get home.
