Hmm, I don’t remember hearing or reading anything about (wooden, dome-shaped) wigwams being constructed west of the Québec/Ontario area. We typically think of (bison skin, conical) teepees in association with the Cree, Blackfoot, and other Indigenous people of the Prairies (Great Plains) and of longhouses associated with coastal First Nations. That’s great that Ukrainians, Latter-day Saints, African Americans, and interned Japanese Canadians were mentioned in the history since they’re often left out of other histories. The pronunciation of “Mormons” (Latter-day Saints) sounded a lot like Filipino pronunciation, which was cute. It would have been interesting to see a mention also of the continually French-speaking settlement of Beaumont near Edmonton, though of course several other places, such as Lac La Biche, Lac Ste. Anne, Girouxville, Trochu, etc., were also founded by French missionaries and others by Métis settlers.
Interesting video. Too bad the narrator is hard to understand. Best thing about this is learning the Liberal Gov't has been corrupt since the beginning.
This is IN CORRECT history !!! Where is Upper and Lower Canada mentioned and how the Railroad was ESTABLISHED???... Wrong, Wrong Wrong!! This is how they rewrite HIStory
Many Ukrainians were also held in those interment camps, and many changed their surnames to English surnames to avoid having their properties confiscated and sent to the camps.
for a history teacher this has been done so bad ,this story does not make any sense give justice and honor the founders of the lands and other deposits found . i am ashamed for you dont know the history to well
