A blend of parkland and prairie Tlandscapes, this region was for millennia inhabited by various nomadic aboriginal tribes, before being permanently occupied in the 1700’s by the Cree. Soon after, the first European explorers entered Alberta, using the North Saskatchewan River on the momentous journeys of discovery. Among the famous trailblazers who traversed Kalyna Country were Anthony Henday (1754-1755), Peter Pond (1778), Peter Fidler (1792) and the renowned mapmaker David Thompson (1812). A total of six fur-trading posts were then established at various points on the North Saskatchewan River, starting with Fort George Buckingham House (1792-1801), near Elk Point and ending with Fort Victoria (1864- 1888), south of Smoky Lake. Both have been developed as provincial historic sites. Afterwards, Christian missionaries began their evangelical work; the St.Paul de Cris Church at Brosseau and the Steinhauer Mission Cemetery in Goodfish Lake, bearing testament to the success of their endeavours. In the late 1800s the Kalyna Country wilderness was heavily settled by an influx of East European immigrants, chiefly Ukrainians and their Old World neighbours, the Poles, Romanians, Solvaks and “Volksdeutsche” Germans. To this day, the prosperous rural communities dotting this historic “heartland” in Alberta have a distinctly multicultural flavour. 2 Vintage Snowmobile Trail Ride and Show & Shine – Elk Point (780) 210-0249 201 9 Events 2 Snowmobile Rally & Supper – Mannville (780) 853-0056 January 2019 2 Spring Bull-A-Rama Series #1 – Cold Lake Ag.
