The Cree name translates \u2018swiftly flowing river\u2019,<\/strong> apt, for a province that hosts 100,000 lakes & rivers, with 30 varieties of shore birds, and moose capital of the World.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nIts home to 2 national parks, 35 provincial parks, 288,00o kms of forest, equaling 44% of the province.
\nBoreal forest covers over half the province.<\/p>\n

If you still believe Saskatchewan is a flatland of wheat fields, view my cousin Megan\u2019s photo below.<\/p>\n

I was born in the village of Fort Qu\u2019 Appelle\u2019s Indian Hospital, Echo Valley Provincial park. The \u2018Fort\u2019 is located on a small section of land nestled between Echo and Pasqua lake, known as The Calling Lakes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

( google images of hospital & valley below. My photo of the lakeshore includes the chimney of the old hospital, google image of the Indian Hospital below.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This beautiful valley is the home of Buffy St Marie, prominent artist James Henderson, and the historic Hansen Ross pottery studio.<\/p>\n

Chief Walter Dieter of the Peepeekisis became Head of Federation of Saskatchewan Indians the year I was born, two years later forming the Brotherhood of First Nations known today as the Assembly of First Nations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In my Father\u2019s Prov. Parks career it was mandatory to reside within amazing places like Echo Valley, including Greenwater and Kenosee Parks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Employees were encouraged to experience diversity of the parks firsthand, therefore often transferred around the province. Living in varied remote wilderness, abundant with wildlife near first nation communities taught us appreciation for landscape\/ culture diversity and adaptability.*<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a beautiful collective experience written in my soul.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I return to close the Saskatchewan Exhibit Dec 2.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a body of work I am proud of, as varied, colourful & bold as the Canadian landscapes I have been fortunate to thrive in.
