This book tells the stories of the five groups of pioneers who came to Saskatchewan from Ukraine, and gives the details of the many fascinating place names they brought with them. The groups are the Ukrainians themselves, the Germans (90% of Saskatchewan’s German speaking people came from Ukraine), the Mennonites, the Hutterites and the Russian speaking Doukhobors.
These stories are hugely interesting – their customs and beliefs, how they got here, their place names – and the book is a good read.
