"MICMAC SPIRITUAL LEADER DIES: St. Eustache, Que. (CP) Tom Paul, a Micmac spiritual leader, poet and activist from Eskasoni, died in hospital Tuesday of a massive heart attack. He was 49. Paul, a veteran of Indian protests at Wounded Knee, S.D., and Restigouche, Que., among other places, was awaiting trial with 41 other Indians in connection with the 78-day armed standoff at Oka in the summer of 1990. The trial was to have begun Monday but was delayed until March 2 while some of the accused find new lawyers. A ceremony honoring him will be held in Oka." [Chronicle-Herald. Halifax, N.S.
