Extractions: Boissevain Online Related Sites Community Contacts Home ... Historical Resources Manitoba's First Explorers Manitoba's First Explorers Manitoba's first explorers were Aboriginal people who entered the region from the south over 11,000 years ago. At that time only a small portion of the province was accessible, as most of it was covered by an ice sheet or glacial lakes. These first people hunted now extinct species of Ice Age animals and manufactured a distinctive style of stone spear point. The scarcity of such artifacts indicates that the earliest explorers were members of a small, highly mobile population whose territory included present-day southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan. As time went on, the ice sheet gradually melted and the glacial lakes slowly drained away. The central and northern regions of Manitoba soon supported a variety of plant and animal resources that drew the attention of indigenous hunters and gatherers. By 7,000 years ago, most of the province had been explored and subsequently occupied by successive generations of Manitoba's first people. THE HONOURABLE GARY FILMON

Civilization.ca - Canada Hall - Language And Culture In Manitoba
3. Many Voices Language and culture in manitoba. Winnipeg's population exploded between 1900 and 1913 as thousands
http://www.civilization.ca/hist/phase2/mod3e.html

Extractions: Winnipeg's population exploded between 1900 and 1913 as thousands of immigrants flooded into the city. Answering the Canadian government's invitation to populate the West, new arrivals from Britain and Northern and Eastern Europe headed to the city's North End where housing was cheap and jobs available in nearby rail yards and factories. The Crump Block, part of which is recreated in the Canada Hall, was built on Main Street in 1905 to respond to the North End's growing need for commercial and professional services. Along with two other Canada Hall modules, the Union Hall and the Chinese Hand Laundry, the Crump Block and its two shop fronts, the Book and Music Supply Store and Print Shop, together form a street scene in Winnipeg during the first half of the twentieth century. The Crump Block (ca. 1908), 844-852 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba (Daniel Smith, architect) detail: shop fronts The Book and Music Supply Store The waves of settlers brought diverse cultures and a multitude of languages to the Prairie region, placing their own imprint on its economic and social life. East European groups were especially visible in the new cultural landscape and eventually made up close to a third of the Prairie population. Many commercial enterprises emerged to cater to their cultural needs.

Paleo-Indian Traditions
culture and tools of the Clovis, Folsom, and Plano cultures of prehistoric North America.
http://www.umanitoba.ca/anthropology/Manitoba/paleo.html

Extractions: The Paleo-Indian period was the earliest firmly established era of human activity in the New World (10,000 - 8,000 B.C) and involved the spread of similar technologies and subsistence patterns in many parts of the continent. As elsewhere, it is represented in Manitoba by Clovis, Folsom, and Plano traditions and was dependent upon hunting of large game animals, originally extinct Pleistocene mammalian fauna and, later, the giant long-horned bison. This emphasis earned the first North Americans the title of "Big Game Hunters". Because much of Manitoba was covered by glacial ice and the meltwater which formed Lake Agassiz , Paleo-Indian sites are not abundant in the province. Points during the Clovis time, 10,000 - 9,000 B.C., are found in isolated occurrences west of the Manitoba Escarpment. During the Folsom phase (9,000 - 8,000 B.C.) Lake Agassiz dropped in elevation possibly allowing peoples to move into the Red River Plain. It rose again by 8,000 B.C. and began its final retreat approximately 700 years later. The end of this era is associated with the extinction of many big game species as the last Pleistocene ice age gave way to the modern climates of the Holocene.
