Author, Conservationist. She was the wife and trusted companion of Archibald Stansfeld Belaney. Known better as Grey Owl, Belaney was a British citizen, who immigrated to the Temagami region of Ontario in the early 1900s. Wanting to follow his dream of living off the land he assumed the identity of a native indian and he built a cabin in the woods. He was introduced to the Canadian wilderness through an Ojibwa woman named Angele Egwuna, and it was from here that he would become friends to animals and a highly respected naturalist, author, trapper, guide, and forest ranger for the Dominion of Canada. Born of Mohawk descent in Mattawa, Ontario, Bernard first met Grey Owl in 1925, and they were later married. After the birth of their daughter Dawn, they moved to Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, but due to rising water, the family were forced to move to a cabin on Ajawann Lake in Prince Albert National Park in Saskatchewan. Given the native name of "Anahareo" by her husband, she was later credited with encouraging Grey Owl to stop trapping and turn to writing and speaking on behalf of conservation. He later published three of his best known works, "Pilgrims Of The Wild" (1934), "Sajo And her Beaver People" (1935), and "Tales Of An Empty Cabin" (1936). He also travelled twice to England, where he promoted his books and spoke to audiences on his ideas of conservation. After his death from pneumonia in 1938, Bernard continued to live on Ajawann Lake and went onto become a highly respected conservationist, and author in her own right. Her autobiography, "Devil In Deerskins: My Life With Grey Owl", was released in 1972. She was admitted into the the Order of Nature of the International League of Animal Rights in 1979, and was named as a Member of the Order of Canada in 1983. She passed away in Kamloops, British Columbia, in 1986 at the age of 80, and was buried with Grey Owl, and Dawn, in a small graveyard on Ajawann Lake near the cabin she once called home. The cabin is now a National Historical Site.
