IMAGE INFORMATION
Charles Pictou, son of Eli and Fannie Pictou, as a small boy; standing near a fire hydrant across an unpaved street from a series of storefronts. One building has "King Hotel" painted on each front window. Note the sign "Dry Goods" in large faded letters on the side of another building at left. 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 the museum would keep the copy negatives, but return the originals and provide the lenders with 8x10 prints of each item loaned for copying.
