Fredrick Seymour, who became Governor of B.C. and Vancouver island in 1864, was accustomed to present a staff of office to the chief of each friendly tribe (Fisher, 1977: 158) This may be what the man in the centre is holding."--- photo caption from paper by Andrea LaForet, "The Thompson Indians of B.C."
