One of the most-read @nichecanada.bsky.social posts in June!

Hugh Henry, past @skhistoryfolklore.bsky.social president, has put a lot of effort into these walks, contacting land owners, setting up get-togethers and overnights along the way. This page needs to be updated, but here is some more info: www.skhistory.ca/historic-tra...

I joined some of my fellow @skhistoryfolklore.bsky.social colleagues this past weekend at Wood Mountain to mark the 10th anniversary of our historic trail walks and retrace the first leg of the original walk from Wood Mountain to Fort Walsh. #skhistory #saskatchewan #exploresask

Tonight I’m at the Spark Your Pride! banquet at the Western Development Museum with @skhistoryfolklore.bsky.social! Want to learn about queer history in Saskatchewan? Check out our Unapologetically Queer special issue of Folklore. www.skhistory.ca/unapologetic... #yxe #saskatchewan #queerhistory

This year, the SHFS is commemorating Pride Month with a set of custom pride buttons, designed by the talented Ambrose at Corvid Curiosity Design! Each unique piece is inspired by the legacy of pride pins and various queer symbols throughout history. #pride #history #Saskatchewan

We've got a brand-new logo! We had to write a blog post unpacking all the SHFS logo lore, because of course we did www.skhistory.ca/blog/the-shf... #newlogoreveal #newlogo #glowup

Still one of my very favourite books to work on and perfect for today's #FolkloreThursday theme - Treasury of Folklore: Seas and Rivers. Packed full of fabulous sea-lore and tales, and can we take a moment to appreciate the stunning cover by Joe McLaren?

Well, I’ll post this again! This is me and my brother Jeffrey. Weyburn, Saskatchewan, winter 1956. I’m the one who has clearly shoveled the sidewalk to the horizon. I have earned my Negroni. He is manifestly proud to just be upright.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

We are looking for a summer intern! #Jobs #Saskatchewan #history #oralhistory

We are thrilled to announce we have partnered with Spark Your Pride – Culture, History, and Arts Organization of Saskatchewan Inc., part of Queer Seniors of Saskatchewan, to publish a collection of stories of Queer seniors living in SK! Read online here: skhistory.squarespace.com/unapologetic...

I'm so excited to announce that mine & @odavies9.bsky.social book 'Folklore: A journey through the past & present' will be out this September! 'The book's key message is that folklore...is and always has been ubiquitous, dynamic and political' manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526180384/

In folklore, storms rarely bring just rain—they bring transformation. Tempests mark the arrival of gods, the turning of fate, or the breaking of an old order. Whether divine wrath or cleansing renewal, thunder and wind always signal change. #FolkloreThursday

Save the date! Friday March 14th! ✨

Folklore Magazine Spring 2025 is in the mail! #localhistory #Saskatchewan #history #SK #Folklore #WeThoughtWeDeservedALittleBeethoven #AsATreat

Had an absolutely wonderful time at the BPES Fashion Show for Black History Month with my @skhistoryfolklore.bsky.social colleagues tonight. Wow, what a stunning event. #yxe

Funny how, for me, doing something like this brought up stories that I'd nearly forgotten - I know there are some stories about my Grandma's Lemon Jelly Roll, but I can't quite remember them, and have decided I must ask my Dad about it!

Excited to join Bluesky! Enjoy the latest post on our "people stories" blog, where Neil McMahon shares “Frying-Pan Jig,” a 1980s tale involving him, his brother Matt, and a bear. #saskatchewan #history #bearencounter #animalhistory #localhistory #humour #HappyEnding www.skhistory.ca/blog/frying-...
