IMAGE INFORMATION


An unknown woman sitting in a studio, holding a splint basket; another basket rests on the table by her elbow. She has a splint flower in one hand, and wears another on her shawl. Note the tobacco pouch, worn at the waist. "Lena Pictou says this is not Rachel Pictou." [Darlene Ricker to R.H. Whitehead, January 1992; photo notes.] 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.
