- Title
(Trans)planting Manitoba's West Reserve: Mennonites, Myth, and Narratives of Place.
- Authors
Fisher, Susie
- Abstract
The article explores the condition of Mennonites, myth, and narratives of place in Manitoba's West Reserve. It cites a collection of personal writings by Maria Braun on the knowledge of the seeds commonly sown in her family's garden in the 1870s. The author believes that seeds and their stories are aspects of Mennonite culture on the prairies that speak rootedness, identity preservation, and negotiation with a complex colonial past.
