JEFF THOMAS: Iconic Images

My edit on Jeff’s most iconic images regarding the Champlain Monument and the Anishinabe Scout statue.

I believe the above image is the first image Jeff took of the monument. Below image is the most iconic one of Scout and taken while still at the Nepean Point location.

National Chief for the Assembly of First Nations Ovide Mercredi at the War Memorial on Elgin Street in Ottawa taken during the Rememberance Day Ceremony in 1992.
