COVER ARTIFACT FROM THE MANITOBA MUSEUM/PHOTO BY ANDREW WORKMAN
Bows & Arrows
For Indigenous hunters, a European firearm was not necessarily an
improvement over a traditional weapon. When chasing bison on
horseback, for instance, using a bow and arrow was sometimes a much
better option.
by Roland Bohr.

Scooping
the War
For the combat cameramen
of the Second World War, half
the battle was about making
their film the first to hit the
newsreels.
by Sarah Cook.

Laurier’s
On the cover
The bow, arrows, and
quivers shown are all from
the early twentieth century
and were used by the
Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) of the
Alberta Plains. The artifacts
are among many held in
the HBC Collection of the
Manitoba Museum.
Sunny Ways
On the 175th anniversary of
Wilfrid Laurier’s birthday, three
writers weigh in on a popular
prime minister who stood
