IMAGE INFORMATION
Viola says that she remembers the day the photo was taken at Paul Yates' studio. She had to borrow her brother's coat for the photo. Charlotte Peters, her mother, was born in St. Martins, NB, and was not of Mi'kmaq descent. Lewis Peters was born at Bear River, NS. Viola Peters was married three times, to a Paul, a Halliday, and a Hamilton. On obverse: "Digby Nova Scotia." 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.
