Found this picture while cleaning up. It is the first picture that I had published in a national newspaper, The Star Weekly, on September 4, 1971. Eel River Bar, New Brunswick, Canada

Her name is Margaret LaBillois and was the newly elected chief of the Micmac Indians on Eel River Bar reserve near Dalhousie, New Brunswick. She said she was on the warpath against injustice. 

Margaret LaBillois, Eel River Bar  (1998 recipient of the Order of Canada)(Order of New Brunswick recipients 05/08/01)

In 1939, Margaret LaBillois became the first resident of Eel River Bar to graduate from high school. In 1982, she graduated from Lakehead University with an Honours Degree in Native Languages.

In 1970, LaBillois was elected as Chief of Eel River Bar First nations, making her the first female chief in New Brunswick. She is a 1998 recipient of the Order of Canada in recognition of her leadership qualities and significant demonstration of traditional skills. She also served in the RCAF as a nurse during World War II. 

The Star Weekly, published in Toronto, fell victim to television and the newspapers' weekend supplements, and it ceased publication in 1973.
