This photograph features the Paton family on the Pembina River between Neche and Pembina. |
| Biography/History | The name Pembina is derived from the Chippewa Indian term for the high bush cranberry which grew in profusion along the Pembina River. Anepeminan Sipi means Redberry River. With the pronunciation of the French Metis, anepeminan could very easily become Pembina. |
