01BIOGRAPHY

Life in context.

50. Lorraine Madeline Nourie Hequet Lewis (1918–1999)
Lorraine appears directly in the CPN roll line as 2821A11880 between Eugene Chester Nourie and Sandra Kay Walker. She also contributed the “Bourassa-Nourie Scrapbook” family material published in the Hownikan, preserving her grandmother Delilah’s photograph, parentage, migration and eleven children. In this sense Lorraine was not only an ancestor but one of the project’s most important historical informants across generations.
Evidence status. High confidence: CPN roll, obituary/family evidence and Lorraine’s own published family account.
Citizen Potawatomi Nation roll-line image supplied by the family. This is an official-record image, not a portrait.
Research sources: Citizen Potawatomi Nation roll-line image; Hownikan 1986 family account
