IMAGE INFORMATION
Chief Pictou in front of his house at Lequille, seated in a chair, holding a wooden "war club", and wearing a beaded coat and feather headdress. Evangeline Pictou is making woodsplints in order to weave a basket at her camp in Sandy Cove. 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.
