Belinda Marie Stevens

Belinda was a beloved member of Eskasoni First Nation. She worked for 34 years at the Eskasoni School Board as a Post-Secondary Educator and spent 9 years with Eskasoni Social Development. She had such a positive impact on many lives over the years and was well respected not only in her own community but all over.
