Based on papers presented at Directions West: 3rd Biennial Conference on Western Canadian Studies, held in Calgary, Canada, in June 2012, the nine articles in this book examine various aspects of the history of Western Canada. Canadian historians and other researchers address spatial aspects of exhibitions in museums that present subordinated cultures in the region; regional archival practices in preserving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirit, intersex, and queer histories; J.Z. LaRocque’s account of his family’s experiences during the North-West Rebellion of 1885; the role of Reverend John McDougall in Indian policy; early suffrage work in the region; Emmeline Pankhurst, Emily Murphy, and their promotion of “race betterment” in Western Canada in the 1920s; 1930s Alberta in the travel diary of Mary Beatrice Rundle; range management practices and the Anderson Grazing Rates Report of 1941; and the Banff School of Fine Arts.
