Race Relations Explored

Relations between native and non-native people in Fort Frances is part of a research project conducted by a Harvard University student.

Jeff Dennis, a sociology student, says its an issues that hasn't received a lot of attention in the past.

"There's a lot of research about health issues and economic development issues," says Dennis, "but nobody's really studied the relationships between the two communities and I think that's so important for the future of the district and region."

Part of his research included a photovoice project where he asked people to take photos that reflected project's theme.

They were recently on display at the Fort Frances Museum.
