INDIANS





Every year with the beginning of the spring thaw, Peter Ewart, with father Clarence and neighbour Bev LaBaron, trekked into the woods, a healthy distance from their homes in Montreal (N.D.G.), to tap the sugar maples and boil the sap down for syrup. This "sugaring off" process was an event enjoyed over the course of several days.
Here you see the process from the first drip of sweet sap into the can, through collection and evaporation, to the sticky syrup and taffy after it was boiled down over an outdoor fire. Clarence, Peter's father, is the primary photographer. The woman is Peter's mother. Peter is the boy with all his teeth and Bev is the boy in the leather cap. You can see the time-lapse between the different clips. In some Peter is c 9 years old, and in the others he is 13 or 14 or even older
