Conference in Canada

In January me and Jeff attended the Society of Historical Archaeologists' conference in Quebec city in Canada. We gave a paper at the conference titled "European Cultural Landscapes in Manitoba - An Interethnic Perspective". The presentation was apart of a session titled “New Perspectives on Inequity: European and Indigenous Voices in the North American Landscape” which was organized by Giovanna Vitelli and Lisa Rankin.The paper was well received and discussions with other scholars helped us sharpen some of our developing ideas and thoughts. 

These maps were made for the presentation. They show the countries settlers in these two areas on the praire came from. The one on the left shows how the settlers from Iceland clustered in the Argyle settlement and the one one the right shows clusters of settlers from the Hebrides. On both maps settlers from Ontario are represented in red and settlers from England in blue.
