It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Harriet Ann Marshall (Kiju) on October 17, 2024 in Eskasoni, Nova Scotia. She was born to Albert and Murdena (late) Marshall on July 14, 1961.
Elizabeth graduated from CBU with her BA as well as from ST. FX with her B.E.D. She was a Guidance Councilor at Holy Angels High School as well as Eskasoni Elementary School. She volunteered to help organize the Early Pow Wow. She also was head of The Treaty Beneficiary Association, a not for profit organization that was dear to her heart. She loved swimming with the fish and walking in nature speaking to the eagle. She enjoyed doing arts and crafts including making ribbon dresses, beading (emphasis on Mik’maq designs and symbols) and sewing where she donated most of her creations. It gave her great honor to be a member of The Great Kiju Society where she gladly paid her Kiju dues and had great pleasure in performing her Kiju duties. Waterprotector.
