Chief henri membertou biography of abraham lincoln
The powerful and renowned Micmac (Mi’kmaq) chief Membertou (d. ), a formidable, astute warrior, settled in the area of Port-Royal probably as early as the mid 16th century. His already considerable influence, which extended to religious matters, increased thanks to his good relations with the French. Membertou is known mainly as the first chief of a First Nations community to be baptized.
