It’s so interesting to see your blog post here!
I’ve lived in Calgary for 6 years, moving from Regina. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story of this meteorite and sacrd stone.I’m just reading everything I can find about the sacred stone since the CBC news article on it’s rematriation. I believe I’d vaguely heard of this stone possibly in news stories.
Speaking of the names of landmarks and provincial towns and villages, I surprisingly realized on looking at your hand illustrated map, that the Saskatchewan town of Battleford is on the Battle River, and that the name might reference possibly a battle between opposing First Nations tribes, or between First Nations and government of that time.
I thoroughly admire your writing your blog posts, and will read more someday. I had 2 blogs from 2011 to about 2020 and loved the writing, reading and community I found.Kudos to you for keeping on. I like the title Curios Meredith, as curiosity is an excellent quality to possess, leading to knowledge and life long learning!

One suggestion: Good to date your article. Agreements are underway to create a special indigenous building for the Manitou Stone with Indigenous architect Douglas Cardinal’s designs. Land outside of Edmonton, where buffalo roam!

I have been to the Iron Creek Museum a few times and met Fay Davidson. She told me about Treaty Hill. I really enjoyed your article and want to learn more. Thank you soo much.
