"We are northerners! Many born here, all calling the north home. The people taking Grade 9 in Cumberland House, Green Lake, Beauval, Ile a la Crosse, Buffalo Narrows and Pine House are taking a special Social Studies course called "Our Heritage - The People of Northern Saskatchewan." We found that other Social Studies courses, although informative about Sask., Canada and the world, left students with very little accurate information about their home in northern Saskatchewan. The Grade 9 course was designed to fill the gap.

In the course the students are required to learn how to research information about their own local area as well as how to use resource material such as books, maps, slides, films and pictures to discover the history of the north from the time before contact with Europeans through the fur trade to the present.

This magazine is an outgrowth of the grade nine studies.

The contents will be largely student contributions such as interviews with local people, reports on class activities such as field trips or projects.

Other historical material may be included by editor or staff."--page 1.
