The Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA) presents a session discussing the sometimes disparate views on Alberta's history.
Whacky Alberta History
Alberta has a lot of history, but no one has pulled it together. Some say we struggled against an unfriendly land, others say we struggled against eccentric governments, and others against an always evil East. Some say we are just misplaced Americans? But are these just old comfortable sawhorses? What are the alternatives? The speaker will offer one.
Speaker: Frits Pannekoek
Frits Pannekoek has been Director of Historic Sites for Alberta for 25 years and involved in over a dozen of Alberta's heritage centres. Today, he is a professor of history at Athabasca University. He has published widely on Alberta's heritage and on Alberta's Indigenous history. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of South Africa and an Alberta Order of Excellence for his work in heritage preservation and online learning.
