SUMMARY:Historical Society of Ottawa (Virtual): Chief Pinesi and his Pursuit of Justice
DESCRIPTION:Guest speaker: Jim Stone\, Author\, “Grand Chief Constant Pinesi: Fighting a Losing Battle” \nGrand Chief Pierre-Louis Constant Pinesi (1768-1834) witnessed great and tragic changes during his lifetime.
