THE FIRST LIGHT

THE FIRST LIGHT
THE FIRST LIGHT of a new day is viewed by David Francis Sr., a Passamaquoddy elder, as he looks across the bay named after the tribe and as the dawn of the new millennium approached in late December 1999. The Passamaquoddys are a part of the Wapaponihik, the People of the Dawn. Francis' work to save the Passamaquoddy language has been a great benefit not only to the tribe but also to non-tribal members. (Edward French photo)
