September 30 — National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Today, the Indian Head Museum recognizes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

One way we honour truth is by listening to the stories of those who have lived the history of our communities.

The Indian Head Museum’s Knowledge Keepers – Sharing Stories of a Métis Community is an oral history project that shares the experiences, memories, and stories of local Métis Knowledge Keepers connected to Indian Head and the Qu’Appelle Valley.

We were proud to partner with Métis Nation–Saskatchewan Region III on this project, made possible through a grant from SaskCulture’s Métis Cultural Development Fund (MCDF).

We invite you to take some time today to listen.

Today is a day to remember, to listen, to learn, and to continue the work of reconciliation.

We remember. We listen. We honour.

An Oral History Project by the Indian Head Museum through the Spirit of the Storytelling, Honouring Métis Families of Indian Head, and the Qu'Appelle Valley.

🚂 Big Progress on Our CPR Display!

Today was an exciting day at the Indian Head Museum!

With the help of the Town of Indian Head crew, and thanks to Liam, who expertly cut the axle and hitch off the trailer, we’ve reached another major milestone in transforming this trailer into our future Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) display.

The trailer has now been lowered onto pads and, over the next week, we’ll be levelling it into its permanent position. After that, the real transformation begins:
🔨 Gutting the interior
⚡ Reconnecting the electrical service
🚂 Building our new CPR exhibit

A huge thank you to the Town of Indian Head for lending their equipment, expertise, and support. Community partnerships like this make projects such as ours possible!

We’d love your help, too!

We’re looking for volunteers who would like to lend a hand with the renovation. Whether you have construction skills, electrical experience, or simply want to help out, we’d love to hear from you.

And while we’re preserving railway history, we’re also looking to preserve your stories. Did you, your parents, or your grandparents work on the railway or have memories of life around the CPR in Indian Head? We’d love to record those stories and include them as part of this exciting exhibit.

Please leave a comment below, send us a message, or stop by the museum.

Together, we’re preserving Indian Head’s railway heritage—one story and one project at a time. 🚂❤️

Digging Into Family History!

Every week at the Indian Head Public Library, John Kort and our new Junior Archivist, Vikram, are helping community members discover their roots through our genealogy course.

From census records and homestead files to family stories and photographs, participants are learning how to uncover the people and stories that shaped their families and our community.

A big thank you to John and Vikram for sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with local history enthusiasts!

Have you ever researched your family tree?
