Ste Madeleine Metis settlement tale and memories revived
The Ste Madeleine Métis settlement near Fort Ellice grew in the early 20th century but was leveled by a 1938 fire. In 1947 a shared church and cemetery united Ste Madeleine with Gambler First Nation. Descendants revived heritage with Ste Madeleine Day starting in 1988, funded by MMF Heritage locals and grants.
