| Description: | This is the title page to The Canadian Pictorial & Illustrated War News, June 27, 1885 (Vol. I, No. 13). This stereotypical image, which is ina washed-out green and vertical format, has the caption: “Illustrating the noble Red Man’s idea of a fair division of labor”. In this image, a First Nations man rides a horse in comfort while his wife and dog toil carrying their possessions. The dog is pulling items via a travois – a traditional First Nations means to haul small items. In this stereotypical image, white Euro-Canadian readers of this paper were confronted with the image of Indian woman as a “beast of burden” – something that contrasted sharply with their own idealized view of the soft femininity of white women. |
