I believe the middle person was Ralph G. Steinhauer - the first Native Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta from 1974-1979. As such and in ceremonial occasions he was entitled to and would wear headdress (the Windsor Uniform having been abandoned).David Laidlawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-46969287870633264852008-09-04T13:59:00.000-07:002008-09-04T13:59:00.000-07:00This replica of the ark is only 1/4th of the ark in the Bible.
