IMAGE INFORMATION
Jerry Lonecloud poses here with a birchbark cross, ornamented with porcupine quills, and with a centre well (for holding flowers?). This cross was made by Madeleine Thomas Williams and was to be sent to Miss Lucy Hardy, Dover, England, as a memorial to her father, the late Major-General Campbell Hardy, who served in Nova Scotia, 1852-1867, and who died 11 April 1919. The cross was perhaps intended to lie flat on the tomb. Lonecloud is wearing a coat and finger-woven sash borrowed from Chief Peter Paul, and a silver George III medal formerly worn by Chief James Peter Paul and Chief John Noel. He is blind in one eye.
