Doig River First Nation's Dedication:
This exhibit is dedicated to the memory of important Doig River elders and community members no longer living. We honour their lives by remembering and practicing what they taught us.

Mary was the daughter of Khatakose Harvey. She married Charles (Atsukwa) Bigsack and they had one daughter, Margie Miller, before Charles died in 1944. Mary later re-married Dan Wolf. Mary's daughter, Margie Miller, is an important elder of our Doig River First Nation. Margie continues to pass on the traditional skills she learned from her mother, Mary Harvey, and her step-father, Dan Wolf.
