Augustine was a grandson of Joseph Augustine and he first gained national prominence by leading the fight for aboriginal logging rights. He was a controversial figure, once charged with murder but found not guilty in the September 19, 1998 death of Bruce Barnaby, a resident of Eel Ground First Nation.[1][2][3]
In 2004, Augustine was elected as Chief of Metepenagiag, serving until 2010 when he lost reelection to Freeman Ward. Later in 2010, Augustine died when his truck left the road, striking a tree. Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigators suggested that speed and alcohol contributed to the accident.[1][2][3][4][5]
