IMAGE INFORMATION
Rosie Paul is holding the hand of her granddaughter, Agnes Jeremy. They are both wearing peaked caps of wool, edged with ribbon and beads. Rosie Paul wears a blanket robe and a long skirt of striped wool. There is a house in the background, probably Rosie's father Chief Ben Pictou's house, in Lequille, near General's Bridge. Agnes Jeremy was the mother of Irene Sexton. 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.
