One of the most important Indigenous individuals of the past 500 years, was a young woman, who only lived until her late-20s, but, who would preserve the culture and stories of her People as their last representative. Shawnadithit (a.k.a.: "Shanawdithit", "Nancy", "Nancy April"), is a Beothuk woman, who was born into this world, sometime in 1801 and she crossed-over to the Spirit world one final time, on June 6th 1829, in St John’s, Newfoundland, after suffering from tuberculosis. Shawnadithit was born near a large lake on the island of Newfoundland, (very possibly, Red Indian Lake). She is the daughter of Doodebewshet and was the last "known survivor" of the Beothuk People, a First Nations People of Newfoundland. Her obituary read: “She died of consumption, a disease, which seems to have been remarkably prevalent amongst her tribe and which has unfortunately been fatal to all, who have fallen into the hands of the settlers.” William Cormack would write later: “The British have trespassed in this country and have become a blight and scourge to a portion of the human race under their power, a defenceless and once independent proud tribe of men have been extirpated, from the face of the Earth.”
