The Unsettling Pioneer Museums in Alberta project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (Insight Grant 435-2021-0457). We thank all staff, both volunteer and paid, at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum, John Walter Museum, the Wadey Centre, and the Musée Héritage Museum for their generous contributions to this collaborative research project.
This research is located on Treaty 6 territory, home of the traditional lands, meeting grounds, gathering places, and traveling routes of the Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy), Tsuut’ina, Nakota Isga, Nakota Sioux, Nêhiyaw (Cree), Saulteaux, Anishinaabe, Dené, and Métis peoples. We respectfully acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries and who continue to shape our knowledge of the past, present, and possible futures.
