The City of Regina Archives unveiled its 150 stories timeline during National
Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21, a day dedicated to honouring our First Nations, Métis and
Inuit peoples.
The interactive timeline provides an Indigenous perspective from pre-contact to
present day. The stories share the wisdom and personal reflections of Indigenous
residents of Regina and surrounding areas.
This oral history project is an initiative of the City of Regina Archives. It reflects the
history of Regina and Canada through 150 memories, histories and experiences
shared by members of our Indigenous community. The timeline creates an ongoing
archival resource for the community. It provides an opportunity to listen to the
experiences and perspectives of Indigenous peoples and to open conversation
around the difficult times in our shared history.
Grant funding for this project was provided by the Saskatchewan Council for
Archives and Archivists, the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture
and Recreation through SaskCulture Inc. and the Young Canada Works program
through the Government of Canada. It will be located online at
Regina.ca/Archives.
