Chief Jessie Saulteaux was elected Chief of the Carry
the Kettle reserve in 1969. It was her concern for the well
being of her people and others like her than resulted in
her becoming Chief. This concern was recognized by many
of the members of her band. Mrs. Saulteaux is active in
many aspects and projects of her people such a the form
