Becoming Alberta The area that was to become Alberta was originally populated by a number of Indian tribes. Among them were the Blackfoot, Peigan, Blood, Sarcee, Slavey, Cree, Chipewyan and Beaver. These tribes prevailed until the 1880's, when the first European's came. Eventually the Indian people were outnumbered by the French and English-speaking migrants from Eastern Canada. Alberta's history in the 18th and 19th centuries revolved around the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company. The two rivals established trading posts in Alberta, competing to acquire the most beaver pelts. They mapped much of the countryside as they travelled the rivers and developed the fur-trading industry. The companies merged in 1821. By the middle of the 19th century, Christian missionaries began to confront the fur traders for control of the area. In 1869, the Canadian government bought all of the Hudson Bay Company's territory, as well as the rest of the land that would later make up the province of Alberta. The Dominion Lands Act was created to distribute land to settlers in 1872. A quarter section of land (160 acres) cost $10.00. At the time of purchase, the settlers had to agree to build a house and cultivate the plot. Their toil and adventures to tame the land were made easier with the development of a new, fast-growing wheat.

Top History Mission Statement History St. Mary’s College was established by an Act of the Alberta Legislature in 1986 as a non-profit, “private college for the promotion of higher education for Catholics and others.” The College is open to all, regardless of personal convictions, who value the Catholic higher education tradition of rigorous intellectual, ethical inquiry and a disciplined sensibility to social justice and the common good. The College offered its first credit courses in 1994. An initial focus of the academic program was professional courses for teachers in the Catholic school system. In January, 1997, in collaboration with the Calgary Catholic Board of Education, the College introduced two professional development certificate programs, one for teachers of religious education and the other for Catholic school administrators. In September 1997, the College initiated a liberal arts and sciences university-transfer program and opened its doors for the first time to full-time students. From the beginning, courses completed at St. Mary’s were fully transferable to St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, NS, through an affiliation agreement. Currently, St. Mary’s courses are submitted through the Alberta Council of Admissions and Transfer for course-by-course transfer to universities, university-colleges, and colleges in the province of Alberta. Students heading into most degree programs can complete up to two full years of study at St. Mary’s before transferring to a university. At this writing, the College is completing a formal application to offer a three-year Bachelor of Arts Degree in general studies to the Private Colleges Accreditation Board of Alberta Learning.

Western Canada Wilderness Committee - Alberta Branch A History of the Alberta Branch of the Western Canada Wilderness Committee Western Canada Wilderness Committee, Alberta was initiated in December 1991 by our current Executive Director, Gray Jones. Gray came to Alberta with the express purpose of campaigning to stop logging in Wood Buffalo National Park, a World Heritage Site and set up Alberta operations and our Boreal Forest Campaign. In the summer of 1993 an all branch meeting was held at the Vancouver offices of 20 Water Street. At this meeting it was decided and implemented that only two branch operations would exist in Canada; the Alberta Branch and the Vancouver Branch. All other operations were given the designation of chapters. The chapters agreed to report to the branches. The Alberta Branch is solely responsible for Boreal Forest issues while the British Columbia Branch works with Temperate and Tropical forest issues. The Alberta Branch has achieved the following: [Main Page] [History] [What you can do] [Links to related information] ...

Our History Our Culture Created from decades of honest determination by pioneers dedicated to duty and unreeling resolve. Before man even considered keeping records, our heritage was being formed by haunting, two storey high reptiles that were eventually to give way to a universal quest for energy. Coal miners by the thousands populated this valley, boring over forty mines to feed the hungry railways of western Canada. Homesteaders found rich fertile soil and families established a community. More important discoveries continued as the retreating glaciers also uncovered unique rock formations and the skeletal remains of the long-departed dinosaurs. Steadfastly, we have endured through two world wars and the replacement of coal by oil and gas. As needs changed, so has Drumheller and a new spirit guides us into the twenty first century. Like our forefathers, we are every bit as determined and capable to accept the challenges of our future. The maturing of artistic capabilities is nurtured by discoveries of man's prehistoric past. Food for the modern mind is amply available in the Drumheller Valley. A host of local museums provide a basis for formulation of our developing culture. The arts are well represented here with talent drawn from around the world.

Home History of Homeplace Ranch This page is dedicated to my relatives who established our tradition with horses. In 1903 my great grandfather and grandfather trailed to Alberta to sell horses to the new settlers who came west following the railroad and the lure of free land. They were so impressed with the land they returned to Nebraska, sold their holdings and headed north. One of the reasons they later told me was "crime was creeping into the mid-west." Ruby Makenny, my mother, was one of the 11 children who was born & grew up ranching west of Ponoka. She and all the children were born at home, many of the youngest in a sod roofed house, whose doorway was 5' 8" tall. Mom met my Dad, Bill, when he came to Canada to hunt moose. He came back in 1935 and when he was preparing to return to Connecticut he kissed her and said, "Ruby if you don't find anyone you like better than me, I'll be back next year (1936) to marry you." He did. In 1946, after returning from 5 years in the US Navy's Seebees, Dad, Mom and myself, along with my Aunt & Uncle, moved to Jasper to go into the outfitting and summer trip business. With 80 head of horse it was a boys dream, one which never left me even when going to university and working to make enough money to start my own outfit. Every summer it was back to Jasper to help out. Finally, in 1978, the opportunity was there to start The Homeplace Ranch.

STONY PLAIN ALBERTA CANADA How We Began Looking back to the eighteen hundreds, all the land west of Edmonton was unofficially called Stoney Plain. The derivation of the name is only a guess. However, it is generally accepted that "Plain" described the surrounding pasture land. The native Indians of the period were Cree, with Sioux of the Dakotas arriving later in search of the abundant fish and game in the area. Folklore recalls the Crees' anger at the Sioux' attempted takeover of the area and the derisive term the Crees used for the Sioux. It was "Stoney". It is assumed that the two words were paired and the spelling changed to that of today - Stony Plain. As early as 1881, a homestead existed in the area. From this time, as settlers heard about the natural wealth of water, fish and game in the area, more came. Predominantly of Austrian heritage, they came west from parts of the United States and Ontario and north from the Medicine Hat area. By 1907, six families were homesteading and word was still travelling. The July 5, 1907 edition of the Edmonton Evening Journal noted: "The region of Stony Plain is a poor man's country; the country that will make money for him, the country where he has three chances to one over any other region."

About Alberta Alberta Adventures Information Center Alberta Events ... Travelling Alberta A Short Alberta History Take a trip down history lane. Alberta's history dates back to prehistoric times, but is best told by beginning in the eighteenth century. In prehistoric times, Alberta was a large inland swamp and lake with roaming dinosaurs. Eventually Alberta was populated by Indian bands. It wasn't until the 1800s that the white man 's thirst for western lands caused them to interact heavily with the Albertan Indians. A Quick Trip to the 1800s summarizes prehistoric Alberta to the first contacts with the Indians in the early eighteenth century. Baby's First Steps describes the first contact between the white man and Indians in the late 1800s. Becoming a Province covers Alberta's steps in becoming a province. Building a Province describes Alberta's present. Alberta is known as the princess province. The province and one of its most famous landmarks are both named after the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria of England, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta. At the time of Alberta's creation in 1882 the Princess was married to the Marquess of Lorne who was Governor General between 1878 and 1882. In 1905 the province entered the Confederation of Canada as a province. Alberta was now a full-fledged member of Canada.
