You won't believe what they found in Moose Jaw, eh?
Okay, so you know how sometimes you hear about something happening just down the road and you think, "Well, that's something, isn't it?" This week, the news from Moose Jaw really grabbed me. Turns out, an archaeological survey there unearthed over 200,000 artifacts and horticulture equipment. Two hundred thousand! That's a lot of old stuff, and it makes you wonder about the history that's literally right under our feet, not just out by Wascana Lake but everywhere.
This isn't just about some old pottery shards; this is about connecting us to the people who walked these lands before us. Think about it: a small dig in Moose Jaw, and suddenly you're looking at generations of stories. It makes you feel like, what else is out there? What kind of history do we pave over every time a new subdivision goes up off Arcola Avenue or down by the Co-op refinery?
### What This Means for Regina
* **Deeper Roots:** It reminds us that our cities, even Regina with its grid system and prairie charm, have deep, deep roots. There's history here that goes back way further than the Roughriders, eh. * **Cultural Connection:** For our kokums and mosoms, and really for all of us, these finds are a tangible link to our nêhiyaw ancestors and the Métis people who shaped this province. * **Future Discoveries:** It makes you think about how many secrets are still buried right here in Regina, maybe even in the Cathedral District or under those old buildings in the Warehouse District.
This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen. What they found in Moose Jaw just proves that our prairie isn't flat in history, only in geography. It’s a good reminder to look a little closer at the ground beneath your feet, whether you're walking along Albert Street or grabbing a pint at Bushwakker.
