In this family portrait, Mary Cecilia Susan Baker (née Elmore) and her husband August Baker (originally Boulanger) flank their son, Marvin. The group represents the formation of families across cultures: August came to the Cariboo region from France; Cecilia’s father ran a fur trading post in Quesnel, and his wife, Cat’a, was an Interior Salish woman born in Lillooet, in the territory of the Stʼátʼimc people.
