Timeline
Marcelline Picard-Kanapé, Marcelline P. Kanapé, (born 1941 in Betsiamites [now Pessamit] in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec) is considered one of the great specialists in education among First Nations in Canada, distinguishing herself since the 1950s.
She was the first Innu teacher in Quebec, the first Aboriginal person to serve on the Conseil supérieur de l'éducation, and the first female Innu chief.
Marcelline Picard-Kanapé is from the Innu community and First Nations reserve of Betsiamites (now Pessamit), near Rimouski, Quebec.
She was the eldest of twelve children.
She was schooled first by the Sisters of Charity and then studied at the École Normale du Bon-Conseil in Chicoutimi.
In 1959, at age 18, she obtained a diploma in preschool and elementary school education and became the first Innu teacher in Quebec.
She was principal of the Betsiamites Elementary and Secondary School from 1977 to 1984.
When control of the school system passed from the Department of Indian Affairs to the Band Council in 1980, she was ready to effect changes including the introduction of Innu language courses.
In the process, she helped standardize the Innu language and develop the first Innu–French dictionary.
She earned a bachelor's degree in education from the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) in 1988.

Picard-Kanapé was Director of Education at Pessamit then at Uashat-Maliotenam while sitting on the Conseil supérieur de l'Éducation du Québec (1989–1992), the first aboriginal person to do so.
She was then elected Chief of the Betsiamites Band Council, the first woman to hold such a position.
During two successive terms in office (1992–1996) she saw women represented in the community's political bodies.
Picard-Kanapé has also worked to facilitate cooperation between native and non-native peoples, taking part in many conferences and forums and in the creation of books on the subject.
She sat on the board of directors of the Montagnais Cultural and Edutational Institute and evaluated the teacher training program at UQAC.
She co-founded the Khani-Khant Choir and Native Dance troupes.
The Université du Québec's National Institute of Scientific Research awarded Picard-Kanapé an honorary doctorate in 2004.
