Different cultures.prairie neighbours. Monday, April 20, 2015. Cemeteries and Family Histories. Many rural cemeteries are cared for by volunteers and are just not in a position, financially, to undertake large restoration projects. In addition, the volunteer hours required to clean, photograph and annotate a whole cemetery of headstones is probably not realistic, either. Maybe, a simpler approach would work . . . providing online accessibility to researchers. . . 24/7? Links to this post. Constructed in ...

Different cultures.prairie neighbours. Sunday, April 7, 2013. Ancient Trail from Eagle Hills to Manitou Lake Mapped. Lloyd How's interest in local history and archaeology is reflected in a new acquisition to our archives. Anthony Henday used this trail in 1745 as he made his way through what is now Western Canada. Along the trail are many areas that were used for centuries for camping, hunting and trapping. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Museum at Cut Knife. Constructed in 1971 as a ...

Different cultures.prairie neighbours. Thursday, September 27, 2012. Just a little reminder to keep buying lottery tickets. Strong support ensures Sask Culture of the funding monies used to support the many cultural institutions and activities throughout Saskatchewan. And as a bonus,you could be lucky and win a jackpot. Who wouldn't like to be Sask's newest millionaire? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Museum at Cut Knife. 1914 - The Cut Knife Journal. 1915 - The Cut Knife Grinder.

The Museum at Cut Knife: Two Perspectives
http://cmmmcutknife.blogspot.com/2014/12/two-perspectives.html
Different cultures.prairie neighbours. Wednesday, December 3, 2014. St Albert Parish with Father Lacombe statue. A few weeks ago, maybe more, back when November still had sunny skies and reasonable temperatures, I visited Mission Hill and the St. Albert Parish. The Resistance, or Rebellion, consisted of a series of events involving communities all across the prairies. Most of these locations are now designated Historical Sites;. Fort Battleford National Historic Site - Enactment. The photos in this post ...

Different cultures.prairie neighbours. Friday, September 7, 2012. Projectile Points with Cultural Perspective Workshop. It was an interesting day of exploring new perspectives of the topic of Projectile Points. The points in our museum's collection were somewhat overlooked in the past, positioned on a board in a pretty pattern reminiscent of mosaic tiling and not revealing much of their past. Those little pieces of stone are not destined to be mosaic pieces much longer. Links to this post. Wardenville Sc...

The Museum at Cut Knife: Bert Martin's Cabin
http://cmmmcutknife.blogspot.com/2015/03/bert-martins-cabin.html
Different cultures.prairie neighbours. Monday, March 9, 2015. Homesteading in the early 20th century, on the wind-whipped stretches of prairie was no easy task for new immigrants. Often, they knew little about farming and, even if they had experience working the land, surviving a Saskatchewan winter would still be a bitter struggle. Much of their success would depend upon how well they were able to make preparations before the cold weather hit. A Prairie Winter View. Bert Martin's Cabin, circa 1920.
