Noah Augustine

Noah Christian Augustine (10 Feb 1971-13 Nov 2010), was a prominent native activist, founding member of the Native Loggers Business Association, former mayor of Metepenagiag Mi'kmaq Nation, president of the Union of New Brunswick Indians, co-chairman of the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs and co-founder of the New Brunswick First Nations and Business Liaison Group.[1][2][3]

Noah Augustine, a grandson of Joseph Augustine, first gained national prominence by leading the fight for aboriginal logging rights. He was a controversial figure later charged with murder, but found not guilty in the September 19, 1998 death of Bruce Barnaby, a resident of Eel Ground First Nation.[1][2][3]

In 2004 Noah Augustine was elected as mayor of Metepenagiag. He lost to Frank Ward in the 2010 election. Later in 2010, Noah Augustine died when his truck left the road, striking a tree. Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigators suggested that speed and alcohol contributed to the accident.[1][2][3][4][5]
