    Ste. Madeleine Métis Community

    Ste. Madeleine was a Métis homestead of about 250 people located in Manitoba, near the Saskatchewan border. Red River Métis citizens and families established the settlement in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The community existed until shortly after the government implemented the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act of 1935 (see Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration). The Act was designed to assist farmers during drought conditions. However, it dispossessed the community of their land. In 1939, the community was destroyed, and the land was converted to pastureland. The Métis were removed with little or no compensation.

    The Forks

    The Forks is a public space where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet in the heart of what is now the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. It occupies the waterfront zone east of Main Street and south of the CN mainline rail bridge. The Forks has played a complex role in the history of the region and of Canada as a whole. It has been a traditional gathering place for thousands of years and was an important hub of the fur trade in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many immigrants stopped at the Forks on their journey west. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1974 and is home to other sites of historical and archeological significance, as well as museums, monuments, parks and theatres.
