“By 1986 Thomas had moved to Winnipeg Manitoba, seven years later he moved to Ottawa Ontario. His move to the Nation”s capital was fueled by his desire to research how aboriginal peoples were represented in official Canadian records. Later he would work for the National Archives of Canada, developing appropriate captions to replace dated terminology used to describe their collections of photos of Aboriginal peoples. In 1996 Thomas co-curated with Edward Tompkins “Aboriginal Portraits from the National Archives of Canada”.”
