IMAGE INFORMATION
Sam Pictou was born in 1897, at Lequille, NS, son of Madeline and Chief Ben Pictou. He is standing left. In the center, seated, is his uncle "Silvie" [Levi]. At right is his aunt, Rachel Jeremy Pictou, wife of Levi Pictou. The photo was probably taken "by an American tourist". It shows an unidentified white man at lower left. The two older men are holding puppies. 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.
