In the late 1800's, people from all over would come to Lennox Island in canoes to join in the annual St. Ann's Sunday Celebration.

Chief Membertou was a very powerful Mi'kmaq Medicine Man.  He was also the first Mi'kmaq to be baptized in the Roman Catholic Faith, on June 24, 1610. The enclosed picture was taken from a canvas painting in the conference room of the Lennox Island Band Council. Original painting by George Paul in April of 1985.

Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, a young Indian maiden was born in 1656.  She faced many hardships because of her choice to become a Christian.  Her mother was a Christian Algonquian (a cousin to the Mi'kmaq) while her father was a Mohawk. Kateri never gave up on her people.  She helped the poor and the sick while dedicating her life to Jesus.

Chief John T. Sark was the last traditional chief on Lennox Island.  This photograph of John T. Sark, in ceremonial dress, was taken in the early 1900's on St. Ann's Sunday.
