Joséphine Bacon

Joséphine Bacon, OC, OQ, poet, teacher, documentary filmmaker (born 1947 in Pessamit, Quebec). Joséphine Bacon is an Innu poet and storyteller who publishes primarily in Innu-aimun (the Innu language) and French (see also Indigenous Languages in Canada). Over the course of her career, she has used her knowledge of Innu-aimun, as well as the history and traditional stories of the Innu people, to be a translator, interpreter, documentary filmmaker and teacher. She is the subject of Kim O’Bomsawin’s 2020 documentary Call Me Human. Bacon is considered an ambassador for Innu culture in Quebec, in Canada and internationally. Her career as a translator and interpreter of Innu-aimun spanned approximately 50 years. Bacon’s work with Innu Elders helped preserve and promote both Innu-aimun and traditional Innu knowledge. As a poet, her work is distinguished for its exploration of Innu culture and the relationships between Indigenous people and their land.

Joshua Mauger

Joshua Mauger, colonial entrepreneur, sea captain, politician (baptized 25 April 1725 in the parish of St. John, Jersey; died 18 October 1788 at Warborne, near Lymington, England). Mauger was one of Nova Scotia’s wealthiest and most influential merchants in the 18th century. Although he only spent 11 years in the colony, he exerted significant power in its business and politics for two decades after. His complex involvement with Nova Scotia underscores the bonds of subservience and influence that hindered the colony’s early development. Mauger also enslaved Black people and built a significant portion of his business empire on the labour of enslaved people.
