Montana photographer N. A. Delaney is a mystery as nothing appears in any lists of camera workers for the period for anyone of this name. What we do have is this wonderful collection of portraits of Sinixt peoples of the Boundary area of Arrow and Kootenay Lakes. Delaney adorned his subjects with contrived costumes and props to add a marketability to his prints.
I purchased them from a book store in Calgary in 1986. The originals are now part of the private archive (Langmann coll). OATS has these copies for your enjoyment.
