Lucy Baker (1836 – 30 May 1909) was the first female teacher and missionary in present-day Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
[1] Baker was born in Summertown, Glengarry County, Ontario,[1] and raised from a young age by her aunt.
She moved to New Orleans not long afterwards to co-own another women's school just before the American Civil War.
In 1879, minister Donald Ross asked Baker to teach at a missionary school in Prince Albert, on behalf of the Presbyterian church.
In 1890, Baker relocated to the Makoce Washte reserves in present-day South Dakota, where she served as chief instructor at a school for Sioux refugees.
