Notes

A community history chronicling the settlements in and around Frog Lake, Alberta, including Unipouhious No. 121, Puskiakiwenin No. 122, Martin, Heinsburg, Lake Whitney, Norway Valley, Fishing Lake Colony (Sputinow), and Acomb. The volume opens with a section entitled “Pre-1910 Years,” featuring essays relating to the North-West Resistance and its bearing on the region. The subsequent section, “Frog Lake Reserves,” offers brief historical accounts of the reserves alongside profiles of notable residents. This structure is repeated for each of the aforementioned communities: a brief settlement history is followed by a collection of family histories. Includes an Index.
