Public History on the Prairies
Where the past is always present
Ukrainians settling in Dauphin, Manitoba in the late 1800s faced numerous challenges. This podcast discusses their experiences, and emphasizes visiting the Selo Ukraina - Ukrainian Folk Arts Centre & Museum to explore this rich history. It was produced by Brandon University students in collaboration with local institutions.
This entry in our Prairie Histories Podcast Series examines the Negrych Homestead. It is "the only in-situ Ukrainian farmstead in North America preserved intact in its original location."
Within the Mossey River Municipality once stood the Ukrainian settlement known as the Cork Cliff District founded in 1899 by eight Ukrainian peasants from Bukovyna and Galicia.
Countless once-thriving Ukrainian immigrant-built communities have declined but still remain significant. The hamlet of Olha, Manitoba is among these.
