Joseph Michael Augustine (March 16, 1911 – January 14, 1995[1]) was a native leader and historian of the Metepenagiag Mi'kmaq Nation.
Born at Big Cove, Joseph Augustine moved as a youth to the Red Bank Reserve (now known as Metepenagiag), and learned the Mi'kmaq language and many traditions from his father.
He was a logger, trapper, basket maker, and ultimately a leader in the Metepenagiag community.
[2] He later gained prominence for his discovery of the Augustine Mound and Oxbow National Historic Sites, a trove of artifacts dating back more than 3000 years.
