MURIEL A. JARVIS has seen many changes in Saskatchewan since her birth on the Prairies in 1920: the Saskatoon City Hospital is now a gleaming structure of steel and glass with ten floors and a central transparent elevator, a transformation from the brick structure where she trained and worked as a young nurse in the 1940s. Health care too has changed a great deal since then; nursing has been transformed, and the status of women revolutionized.

The inspiring story of a girl from Kenaston, Saskatchewan, who had a dream...And her dream changed a province.

Saskatchewan Dirt is a well researched genealogical and geographical pursuit of the early connections between settlers and Indigenous people in southeast Saskatchewan. In her research, Bev Lundahl uncovers several surprising connections in both the past and the present, sparking a road trip undertaken in the spring of 2020 with Georgina Cyr—the Métis chairperson of Intercultural Grandmothers Uniting (IGU). Sharing these discoveries with the other members of IGU leads to compelling memories from several Residential School survivors. The search unfolds in real-time during the pandemic, marked by climate and human health emergencies along the way, including the announcement of the identification of unmarked graves at Residential School sites across the prairies. Saskatchewan Dirt is a true story of connection—and the building of reconciliation.

In early January 2016, Chad received THE phone call in the middle of the night that no one wants to receive. The police officer on the other end of the line shared the heart-shattering news, he had just lost his most precious family in a tragic car accident.

Chad shares his journey through grief, losing four family members to a drunk driver and the effect it took on everyone in his life. There were many dark days and there were times that he felt things may never get better. Remarkably, he was able to find inner peace and strength after first doing
the work to truly forgive the driver of the other car.

As he came through the grief fog, he started to share his thoughts and feelings with others who had been through similar tragedies in their lives. Change started to happen. Those who listened started to transform their lives. Chad then felt an overwhelming sense that people worldwide needed to hear his story and understand his journey.

What could have been a lifelong spiral out of control in complete and utter devastation has turned out to be an amazing journey of growth and personal development.

I have long been fascinated 
by ravens.
The way their calls spread 
through the forest like a magic 
cloak. The hollow bamboo call, 
the dripping water call, the 
knock on wood, the gargle, the 
gurgle, the kraa, and the wow!

Among these sticks 
and bones, may you 
discover a shining 
treasure of your own.

About The Book:

One day while walking in the woods, Allison 
Douglas-Tourner came across a raven harvesting sticks for his nest, dropping them into a 
pile to use later, along with a few small bones. 
The experience became a poem. 
Gathered here is a collection of “sticks and 
bones” from moments in the poet’s life, each 
giving the imagination room to breathe—for 
that is the true magic of haiku
