Following the University of Regina Press’s tagline, “A Gathering of Many Voices,” we’ve pulled together two voices from their catalogue, offering possible research, teaching, and travel inspiration on or in the Northern Great Plains.

Start with James Daschuk’s "Clearing the Plains: Disease, Politics of Starvation, and the Loss of Aboriginal Life," reviewed by Bradley C. Hiebert in Vol. 1, No, 2 of Canadian Food Studies: https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v1i2.51

Then, pair it with a dissertation-turned-monograph from 30 years ago, and now in print. R. Grace Morgan’s Beaver, Bison, Horse: The Traditional Knowledge and Ecology of the Northern Great Plains includes a foreword by none other James Daschuk. https://uofrpress.ca/Books/B/Beaver-Bison-Horse

For a while this otter and this beaver were alone after their companions had died. The plexiglass separating their habitats gave them an opportunity to "visit" each other.

A beaver in the process of trying to dam that big water leak and make it shut up. :)

This was quite a war between the beaver and the city works people. At times the pond would flood the nearby walking trails.
