"Pius" Cree Indian Chief

Pius The Cree Indian Chief was photographed by dad in the mid 60's with a Linhof 4 X 5 cut film camera and a Schneider 210mm lens. Lighting in the home studio was with a set of Ascor 100ws 4 channel light setup. This was before the wide spread use of umbrella's and softbox's, all the lighting was controlled by "barndoors" and homemade tinfoil reflectors over cardboard. This image was used all across Canada for a post card. The rights to use it for a post card only got him $25.00. This image later showed up on tee shirts, dad tracked the user and had all the shirts removed from the market. He never got a penny more for this image. I think this was some of his best work. I now own the rights to this image.

How can I get a print of this for my aunt who is 90. She is Cree and wants a print to put on her wall.

This man looks like my mother did before she passed away. I am a decendent of the Cree Nation but don't know much about my Heritage. Thank you for posting this picture that I may see it.
