Description
Photo of the Polson family, with on the left Pepici Joséphine Polson and her parents Charly and Tcakitci Jenny Polson, at Lake Apitipi.
Pepici Joséphine Polson is the first woman of her community to have gone to school by her own will, at l'École Nomade (today the Cegep of Amos).
It is not the only reason why the Polson family has been famous at this time, because she was also the first family of the community to own an automobile.
