IMAGE INFORMATION
This may be the Annapolis Royal Indian Carnival. Mrs. Addie Lowe Francis, on right, with her daughters Evangeline Francis Pictou and Grace Francis Wentzell, in costume for some festive occasion. In the background is Madeline Penall, by Jim Pictou's wigwam, set up for the occasion. On reverse, "Mrs. Francis with her daughters Evangeline and Grace, in the Back grounds is Madeline Penall by Jim Pictou's wigwam/ July 30/'34/ Evangeline took first prize with her costume, given to Irene Sexton." 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.
