IMAGE INFORMATION
Rosie Paul was the grandmother of Lena Paul Pictou. The photo was taken at Smith's Cove, where she often camped and made baskets. Rosie Paul died 22 June 1939. She is shown with some of her woodsplint baskets 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.
