Culture of Saskatchewan

Culture of Saskatchewan

Culture of Saskatchewan views the patterns of human activity in the central prairie province of Canada examing the way people live in the geography, climate, and social context of Saskatchewan. Cultural activities involve technology, science, as well as moral systems and the characteristic behaviours and habits. Culture is the summation of how Saskatchewan has cultivated or tilled the soil of knowledge, improvements, and neighbourly courtesies.[1] The choices people make in the way they live reflect their values and norms. Saskatchewan institutions and artifacts record historical cultural patterns and beliefs. Provincial cultural studies combines political economy, communication, sociology, social theory, literary theory, media theory, film/video studies, cultural anthropology, philosophy, museum studies and art history/criticism to study cultural phenomena in Saskatchewan. Cultural studies researchers often concentrate on how a particular phenomenon relates to matters of ideology, nationality, ethnicity, social class, and/or gender. The culture of Saskatchewan seeks to understand the cultural identity within the various regions of Saskatchewan. What makes an individual of Saskatchewan have the (feeling of) identity within the provincial culture, or how the aspect of an individual is influenced by belonging to Saskatchewan and its activities.[2] Culture does not remain stagnant, it evolves. Culture changes with advances and changes in public opinion, technology, geopolitics, and science.

"Culture is the learned set of beliefs, values, norms and material goods shared by group members... Culture consists of everything we learn in groups during the life course – from infancy to old age." - William E. Thompson & Joseph Hickey, Society in Focus, 2005.

A person identified with Canada is a Canadian, and with the province of Alberta an Albertan. However a native resident of Saskatchewan could be called Saskatchewanian, or Saskatchewanite.[3][4]

According to Abraham Maslow and his hierarchy of needs, basic needs must be satisfied in order to progress on to creativity and the need to create and/or experience beauty, balance, and structure.[5] Prehistoric man spent a great deal of time searching and hunting for food to satisfy the basic primitive need. First nations and fur traders adopted a transhumance and hunting and gathering lifestyle to fulfill their economic and sustenance needs. Early homesteaders and settlers in the 19th century and early 20th century likewise spent the majority of their time proving up their homesteads, tilling the land and providing subsistence agricultural products for their families. The early 20th century developed successful agricultural practices, and society rejoiced in the roaring twenties. The depression and drought years of the dirty thirties took agricultural sustenance away.[6] The Industrial Revolution which came with the Second World War developed some mechanized improvements in both travelling and agricultural labour saving devices. Electricity became established throughout the various Saskatchewan regions. The economy saw a growth not only in the agricultural sector, but labour was freed up to also pursue choices other than agriculture. A major breakthrough was seen in the arts and culture scene in Saskatchewan from the 1940s onward.[7] Arts and cultural activities before this date were of the main on a family, individual and unpaid level. Local schools would host plays, family or tribal members would engage in handcrafts of various sorts which may become heirlooms, communities would come together for engagement in various sports activities for recreation. The Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Sciences prepared the Massey Report in the early 1950s. This commission noted the strengths and weakness of the cultural community and led to the establishment of the Canada Council which promoted burgeoning talent.

"the commissioners set about to search for 'what can make our country great, and what can make it one" - Massey Commission

[8] The Saskatchewan government also showed support on a cultural level, with the creation of the Arts Board, and promotion of the Golden Jubilee celebrations hosted in 1955.[7]

Museums and cultural institutions

Royal Saskatchewan Museum Regina

There are numerous heritage and cultural attractions in the province of Saskatchewan. Museums, dinosaur digs, aboriginal cultural and heritage sites, art galleries, professional sport venues, spas, handcraft, antique and tea shops, agricultural tours, live theatres and archaeological sites comprise over 600 varied Saskatchewan institutions. Saskatchewan is home to two prominent spas, in Moose Jaw and Watrous, ten Provincial historical parks and seven main National historical sites.[9]

The preservation of past and current cultural conditions in visual record forms the exhibit of museums and art galleries. Along with the Saskatchewan Western Development Museums, there are over 200 local pioneer heritage museums. Travelling exhibits help to supplement the permanent groupings of each institution. The Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History officially opened in Regina in the spring of 1955.[10]

Development of Saskatchewan culture

Large societies often have subcultures, or groups of people with distinct sets of behaviour and beliefs that differentiate them from a larger culture of which they are a part. Western culture is the cultures of the people of European origin and their descendants which comprises the set of literary, scientific, musical, and philosophical principles.[11] The Saskatchewan lifestyle and culture was inter-related with and depended on the ethnic bloc settlement, geo-physical area and rural or urban community. Saskatchewan culture has historically been heavily influenced by English, French, Irish, Scottish and Aboriginal cultures and traditions, and over time has been greatly influenced by American culture due to its proximity and the interchange of human capital.

Aboriginal influences

see also Category:Aboriginal peoples in Saskatchewan | Category:First Nations in Saskatchewan | Category:Dene culture | Saskatchewan Archaeological Society | Jingle dress

Clovis culture and prehistoric Primitive culture is depicted in archaeological findings. The nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle[6] of the first nation developed leather working as a necessity for clothing. Trading fur for beads developed a new handcraft of beadwork and weaving. The first nations of Saskatchewan are still renowned for their Pow-wow dance, drumming and music.[12]

Clifford Sifton established colonial offices in Europe and the United States to encourage immigration from Britain and the United States, and by Ukrainians, Doukhobors, and other groups from the Austrian Empire to populate the Canadian West. Between 1891 and 1914 was the largest influx of immigration to the North West Territories and the province of Saskatchewan. The French Métis in Duck Lake and St. Louis of 1870, Qu'Appelle Farming colony and Bell Farm of 1880, Cannington Manor of 1882, East London Artisans Colony of 1884, The New Elsass German block colony of 1885, New Stockholm Swedish colony of 1885, Rosthern Mennonite Colony of 1893, Montmarte/Grenfell Galician settlement of 1896, and the Good Spirit Lake Doukhobor Annex (Devils Lake colony) of 1899 are just a few of the earliest ethnic bloc settlements established in the 19th century in the early North West Territories. Ethnic block settlements of this early time concentrated on developing their agricultural methods, and then establishing churches and schooling. Religion and education was based on what they knew from their home country. World War I showed that there was a need for a common identity and language in Canada and the west. Schools established a provincial curriculum and standard language. The cultural identity shifted from the homeland to creating a new society and culture with a single unifying language to aid economics and social growth. World War II again emphasized a need for an identity which was truly and uniquely Canadian, which was also a desired norm in Saskatchewan.[13][14]

Geography, climate, and immigration

see also Geography of Saskatchewan

Northern Saskatchewan is home to the Dene and archaeological findings such as The Aboriginal Rock Paintings of the Churchill River, Petroglyphs as well as history of early trading posts such as Stanley Mission. The Palliser Expedition described an arid geographic region unfit for human habitation known as the Palliser's Triangle. The first capital of the North West Territories moved from Fort Pitt to Battleford, Saskatchewan Provisional District (1876–1883).[15] Near the northern tree line, and the main economic industry of fur trapping were the fastest growing trading posts and early settlements such as Prince Albert. The first survey for the transcontinental railway was between Winnipeg and Edmonton through the settled areas of Battleford and Prince Albert.

Badlands south Saskatchewan, Canada

In southern Saskatchewan the land was suitable for early ranching and cattle grazing enterprises. Ranchers replaced grazing buffalo herds with large spreads and community pastures. Sparse population dotted the southern landscape in the 19th century. Among the first nations, the 49th parallel north was nicknamed the Medicine Line because of its seemingly magical ability to prevent U.S. soldiers from crossing it. The Big Muddy Badlands have a reputation for outlaw history, and hide out caves. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) Soo Line Railroad arrived in Moose Jaw in 1882 from Chicago, giving Moose Jaw the moniker of Little Chicago. Gangsters such as Al Capone used the tunnels of Moose Jaw for bootlegging in the prohibition years 1917–1924. Chinese immigrants used the tunnels as hideaways and homes during an era of Anti-Chinese sentiments.[16] The rise of the Cypress Hills massacre, bootlegging activities, outlaws and gangsters outrunning the United States law gave rise to new fort outposts such as Fort Walsh,[17] and Royal Northwest Mounted Police (RNWMP) barracks, the history of which is recounted at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Centennial Museum[18]

The July 8, 1874 March West brought law and order to the southern area of Saskatchewan. The Dominion government and Canadian Pacific Railway now examined the report given by John Macoun, botanist to the 1872 Sanford Fleming railway route expedition.[19] Settlement could be established under the safety of the RCMP and this new promise of agricultural colonization, so constructing a southern transcontinental railway helped maintain the Canadian identity near the 49th parallel north which was under encroachment by the American expansionists.[20]

Central Saskatchewan recounts the history of the various battles of the North-West Rebellion at Batoche and Fort Carlton. Regina attained national prominence in 1885 during the North-West Rebellion despite the fact that the Canadian Pacific Railway had still only reached the formerly designated territorial headquarters of Troy (Qu'Appelle) some thirty miles to the east. As the railways arrived, so too immigrants arrived in greater quantities than via Red River Cart via trail and ferry. Ethnic bloc settlements, and communities situated on the rail line grew quickly. Immigrants settled near others who they could communicate with, so those of like languages settled together for neighborly homestead improvements, harvesting co-operation and, economic necessity.

Rural living patterns

Primary industries were agriculture in the rural south and central region, fishing and forestry in the rural northern region.[21] The Dominion Land Act of 1872 offered pioneers an opportunity to prove up a quarter section of land (one hundred and sixty acres (a quarter square mile, 65 hectares).) in Western Canada for a $10.00 filing fee.[22] The improvements needed to acquire the land were labour intensive, and settlers farmed in family groups or ethnic bloc settlements of the same language to assist one another. Early homesteaders grew mainly subsistence crops which would feed their own family and livestock. Pioneer activities supported harvest work groups, recreational sports, pioneer farm exhibitions, rodeos and community dances to provide support and social interaction for isolated neighbors who lived a quarter mile apart from each other. The industrial revolution modernized the farming industry as mechanized vehicles replaced the long hours of oxen ploughed land or the horse drawn cart. Farms became much larger, and mechanized evolving towards industrial agriculture.[23][24]

Urban living patterns

Moose Jaw became the first city of Saskatchewan in 1903.[25] Pile O'Bones, renamed Regina in 1882, was declared the Territorial Capital in 1883, became a city in 1903, and the capital of Saskatchewan in 1906.[26] Prince Albert attained city status next in 1904. The Barr colonists arrived in Saskatoon in 1883, the Qu'Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatchewan Railway (QLLR) in 1890, and Saskatoon attained city status in 1906, and is presently the province's largest city.[27]

The urban centres brought a mix of ethnic and religious settlers, and those who weren't agricultural homesteaders but who brought with themselves a trade or professional calling. Regina developed around the newly formed legislature and North-West Mounted Police Barracks. Saskatoon developed around the arrival of the three major rail lines becoming the central hub city [27] for supplies both to Alberta {west} and Manitoba {east} but also to industry north and south. Primary industries were agriculture in the rural south and central region, fishing and forestry in the rural northern region, and mining of various capacities throughout the province depending upon resources available at each site. The depression and drought years of the dirty thirties brought folks beset by agricultural hardships to the cities for a dire hope of employment. Secondary 'make work' industries were on the rise such as manufacturing and construction. Many hotels and bridges were built by this large supply of labour in this time. With the advent of the industrial revolution, after World War II, agricultural output went up with a decrease of labour methods. The supply of workers increased for tertiary employment sector such as transportation, trade, finance and services which were mainly based in urban centres.[21]

Architecture

Château style rail stations, Saskatoon

The notable architectural achievements have been preserved as historic and heritage sites. The architecture varies from Anglican Gothic Revival mission churches, Romanesque Revival post offices, Château style rail stations and hotels, Byzantine-style basilica Ukrainian Catholic Cathedrals.[28]

Creative arts

The creative arts developed from the establishment of the Canadian Arts Council, in December 1945. The Special Committee of the House of Commons on Reconstruction and Re-establishment in a post-war dominion sought to provide arts which were

“

"more widely distributed and more closely integrated with the life of our people"

Television is a widely used telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. By the mid 1950s, there were just over 150 radio broadcast stations operating nationwide across Canada, Canada first received television broadcasts in 1952 at Montreal and Toronto. There are currently nine separate television stations in Saskatchewan.

Film encompasses individual motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. $7.80 admission fees, and 16 motion pictures (mainly made in the United States were viewed by the average Canadian in 1954.[30] Saskatchewan residents thereafter developed their own films and the Saskatchewan Film Development Corporation a production unit of the National Film Board Canada, Saskatchewan Production Studios, as well as the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival.[31] The Canada Saskatchewan Production Studios located in Regina that has been used for the production of both movies and television programs.

Film and television productions done at the Canada Saskatchewan Production Studios include:

Theatre

See also: Globe Theatre, Regina

Theatre is the branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience. The earliest drama selections were of the Christmas school pageants which early one room school house teachers would assemble and present with the assistance of student and parent. The "Socialisti", "Red Devils/Ghosts", "West Country", or the "Coteau Hills Finnish Socialist Society" settled around 1923 in the Steeldale district of Saskatchewan. They would gather in halls and produce local plays.[32]

Persephone Theatre During Earth Hour

Several early Saskatchewan communities including Wolseley and Hanley would construct Opera houses to encourage drama production in the early 20th century.[33] The Dominion Drama Festival which showcased a national competition amongst Canadian amateur theatre groups was held in Regina in the mid 1950s.[34]

Thereafter the Regina Little Theatre and Theatre Saskatchewan formed. Theatre and Saskatoon are synonymous with names such as Henry Woolf actor and artistic director and Bob Hinnitt drama organizer of Castle Theatre Aden Bowman Collegiate. The Persephone Theatre, 25th Street Theatre, Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, and the Globe Theatre produce professional theatrical shows for the Saskatchewan community today.

Visual arts

The visual arts are art forms that focus on the creation of works which are primarily visual in nature, such as painting, photography, printmaking, and filmmaking. Those that involve three-dimensional objects, such as sculpture and architecture, are called plastic arts. Early explorers and adventurers were enticed to the North West Territories by paintings by Paul Kane who depicted a romantic west of adventure. As early as the 1955 summer season, the Regina College Summer School at Emma Lake reached national prominence.[35] Augustus Kenderdine, Inglis Sheldon-Williams, Illingworth Kerr, James Henderson, Ernest Lindner Jan Wyers, Dorothy Knowles and William Perehudoff are all well known and acclaimed Saskatchewan artists. Kenneth Lochhead, Arthur McKay, Ronald Bloore, Douglas Morton and Ted Godwin became known as the "Regina Five". Joe Fafard, Jack Sures, and Vic Cicansky make ceramics and sculpture their visual art form media. Painters Bob Boyer and David Thauberger, as well as sculptor Bill Epp and the brothers Huang Zhongyang and Huang Zhongru are noteworthy as well.[36]

MacKenzie Art Gallery Regina and Mendel Art Gallery Saskatoon are two of the main centres showcasing visual arts for Saskatchewan residents.

Festivals are times of celebration that offer a sense of belonging for religious, social, or geographical groups. Modern festivals focus on cultural or ethnic topics which seek to inform others of their traditions.

Chautauqua movement was an early pioneer traveling "tent show" of arts and entertainment[45] Agricultural shows are public events showcasing the equipment, animals, sports and recreation associated with the occupations of agriculture and animal husbandry. The largest of these comprise a Livestock show (a judged event or display in which breeding stock is exhibited) a trade fair and other competitions and entertainment which have been popular throughout the history of Saskatchewan.

The Regina Arts Commission is just one of the many organisations formed to support festivals and their creation.

Food

Most traditions have a recognizable cuisine, a specific set of cooking traditions, preferences, and practices, the study of which is known as food science (gastronomy).[46] Pemmican and bannock are a few of the historical foods of the Cree first nation aboriginal peoples. Bannock is easy to prepare and combine with local berries, the dough can be cooked over the open fire suspended on willow stick, and tastes similar to biscuits. Early settlers survived by learning from the first nations which flora and fauna of the land were edible and how to prepare. Thereafter, the land was tilled, and agricultural practices and trading economies allowed each ethnic group to plant and cultivate the foods necessary for the recipes of their home land. Each ethnic group has brought their unique flavour and recipes to Saskatchewan and are celebrated today in Folk Festivals across the province.
