Collection of Barney and Marion Lamm Private Collection, Ontario
Barney and Marion Lamm operated a wilderness resort in Ontario, Canada (1945-1970) with assistance from the local Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) bands. Following an industrial mercury disaster in 1970, the Lamms became environmental activists on behalf of themselves and the Ojibwe. The Marion Lamm Mercury Library at Harvard holds the family archives on this history and its effect on indigenous peoples. Marion Lamm maintained personal relationships with many Anishnaabeg artists, buying directly from them when they visited her home. Norval Morrisseau, Carl Ray, Eddie Cobiness, and others were guests in the Lamm's home and Marion was a favoured patron. Upon her death, the collection was dispersed among her five children.
