IMAGE INFORMATION
The woman on the right, seated, is possibly Mary Elizabeth Pictou, called Subbet [or Sarbet, for Elizabeth]. She lived in Bridgewater, and also on the Bear River Reserve, in the building now referred to as "the old band hall." See the photo of her in front of the same house, shown previously (NSM 2000.4.81/ N-17,711). One of 116 images collected for copying by Darlene Ricker between 1990 and 1997, as part of a project of the Bear River Mi'kmaq Reserve, Bear River, NS. Initiated by Chief Frank Meuse, the project, set up to preserve the reserve's history, resulted in a book by Darlene Ricker, 1997. The Nova Scotia Museum, Halifax, contributed the copywork for all photographs lent to the project, on the understanding that they would keep the copy negatives, but return the originals and provide the lenders with 8x10 prints of each item loaned for copying.
