Notes

Prairie Sunset is a photographic and oral history book that captures the fading legacy of rural life on the Canadian Prairies. Through over 100 original colour photos, archival images, and interviews with 70 elders—retired farmers, schoolteachers, and townspeople—Manastyrski documents the rise and decline of family farms, one-room schools, and close-knit prairie communities. The book explores themes of change, memory, and loss as modern agriculture and rural depopulation reshape the landscape. It’s a heartfelt tribute to a disappearing way of life, rooted in the author’s personal connection to the land and its people.
