Periodically, photographers take over the Maclean’s Instagram account. Here’s the story behind Our Grandfathers were Chiefs, a collection curated by Laurence Butet-Roch.

I’m Laurence Butet-Roch (@lbutetroch), a member of the Boreal Collective (@borealcollective), and I’m sharing photographs from my work with the Aamjiwnaang First Nation in Southern Ontario, where over 850 Anishinabek people live surrounded by 46 petrochemical industries.
