Historical note | Wetton was active in various organizations in North Battleford such as the Imperial Daughters of the Empire, and in 1937 joined the North Battleford News as a reporter. She wrote for that newspaper and served as the Battlefords reporter for the Saskatoon Star Phoenix until her retirement in 1965. She was well known for her interest in the history of Saskatchewan and wrote extensively on the subject for both newspapers and, in addition, produced a number of books including The Promised Land and Historic Battleford. She died in North Battleford in 1974. | |
Scope and content | This folder contains a large number of articles, mainly by Mrs. Wetton, describing Native people, their way of life, and problems they were experiencing in the post-contact period. Only a portion of the articles and two brochures were scanned, however there are many articles that contain multiple photographs and interpretations of how Aboriginal people lived on reserves in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. There are also many articles on Aboriginal views of treaty rights, and related political activities. | |
