IMAGE INFORMATION
Sam Pictou was born in 1897, at Lequille, NS, son of Madeline and Chief Ben Pictou. He is shown sitting on a stool in front of a large canvas tent, probably his family's summer home. Sam had five brothers and sisters: "Silvie" [Levi, or Silivye], John, Jim, Christina Penall, Sarah Forcey [also spelled Fossey and Faucey], and Eliza Paul. Sam's father died 30 March 1931, aged 101; he was born in 1830. 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.
