Some great photos you have there!! Good chance our grandparents guided a
bit together back in the day.
Chief louie, would that be where chief Louie lake across ootsa come from? Spent a bit of time trapping with my dad out there when I was a kid.
Them were some tuff dudes back then! Thanks for posting them up.

Yes that is where the name of the lake came from! What was your grandparent's names?

Also back in the 30s my Great Grandfather was the horse wrangler for Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir on their trip to the park that bears their name. He was mentioned in the National Geographic article that was done up about the trip.

Fabulous old pics but what struck me was the apparent careless manner in which the rifles were held.

Bruce Thompson would be my grandad, he had owned a big guiding area around burns lake here back before my time. I think it's split into a few guide areas now.

Some of the pictures are taken when my family lived in the US, many are around the Ootsa Lake/Burns Lake region

So that is Cheslatta (spelling) falls in a couple of those pictures?
