Trip North to La Ronge and Stanley Mission

I just spent the last week traveling through northern central Saskatchewan up to La Ronge and Stanley Mission.  Myself and some ladies from the museum went up to deliver some display cases to the band office in Stanley, and then we did some artifact inventory work at Mistasinihk Place, the government offices in La Ronge.  I got to visit the Holy Trinity Anglican church which is famous for being one of the oldest mission churches still left in the north and I also got to check out the cool trading post in La Ronge and pick up some sassy moccasins.

Driving through the Qu'Appelle Valley on our way north from Regina.

Dropping the display cases off at the band office in Stanley Mission.

Oops!  Repairing a ceramic plate sherd that got broken in transit.

Breathtaking view of the church across the river at Stanley Mission.

View of the church and part of the graveyard. I'd never seen fences like that around graves before.

Heading back to Stanley after our tour.

Me and Alyssa hard at work in the display cases.

Inside Robertson's Trading Post in La Ronge.  More pelts and hides than I've ever seen!

Portagers in La Ronge!

Me and the giant robot off the highway at Tireson's Store!

We stopped in Watson on the way home for lunch and a photo-op.

One of the MANY grain elevators I saw along the way.  This was one of the nicest.

My brand new moccasins, made of moose hide and rabbit fur.  They're beautiful!!
