Georgina McDougall
Luxton (1870-1965) was the granddaughter of Reverend George and
Elizabeth McDougall, pioneer missionaries in Alberta since 1862.
Georgina is said to be the first non-native person born
in what is now Alberta. She was raised at Morleyville, the
village that sprang up around the McDougall Methodist Mission
to the Stoneys. It was the first settlement in southern
Alberta. Georgie’s father, David McDougall, ran the Morley
trading post.

She attended the Indian
school until one was built for the white children. Georgie
spoke the Stoney language fluently, and had life-long friends
among the Stoney people. She was taken into the tribe as a
Princess and Blood Sister, and given the name “Rainbow Woman”
as she was seen to bring peace after a storm.

In 1904, Georgie married Norman
Luxton. They had one child, Eleanor
Georgina
, born in Banff in 1908.
