	Biography: Shanawdithit
		There is only one known picture of Shanawdithit, but in 1836 an article was written by John McGregor describing her as "a face that bore striking resemblance to that of Napoleon, her hair was jet fl and had dark, vigilant, and piercing eyes, which were remarkably striking and beautiful.
		Not much is known about Shanawdithit's life before being captured, except that she wouldn't have been captured at all, but being impelled by hunger, her mother, sister and herself ventured to the coast looking for food.
		Shanawdithit's remains are buried on the South Side of St. Johns, where there is a monument standing today to commemorate her life.

		Relations with the Mi'kmaq, a native group who arrived in Newfoundland during the colonial period, and with the Labrador Inuit, were hostile but did not often descend into violence.

		She was also able to outline the numerical decline of the Beothuk over the previous two decades, testifying that at the time of her capture, only about a dozen remained.

		One of the reasons given by Marshall for the genocidal outcome of native-newcomer relations in Newfoundland was the lack of intermediaries between the communities, such as missionaries, fur traders and government Indian agents.
		In fact, the first Beothuk to develop relatively close and extended relations with the European settlers was the last of her tribe, the legendary Shanawdithit.
		Between 1823 and 1829, when she died, Shanawdithit lived under the protection of William E. Cor-mack, who foun-ded the Boethuk Institution with the hope of establishing friendly relations with her people.

		Although a succession of Newfoundland governors had, since the middle of the 18th century, attempted to establish friendly contact with the Beothuks, it was probably too late to change a pattern which had existed for perhaps 250 years.

	Beothuk Language and the Beothuk Indian Culture (Beothuck, Skraelings, Red Indians, Beothuks)
		The Beothucks and the second wave of European colonists never even learned to communicate with each other before the Beothuck people were wiped out completely, so they will always remain something of an enigma.
		Almost everything we know about their culture comes from the stories and drawings of two Beothuk women, Demasduit and Shanawdithit, who were captured by the British in the 19th century and learned a bit of English before dying of tuberculosis.
		A few Beothuk descendants surfaced among the Mi'kmaq and Mohawk after that (those tribes often adopted captured enemies), and other Beothuks may have fled to the Innus for protection.
