Interesting Articles Included in Saskatchewan History's Fall 2007 Issue (Volume 59, Number 2) Father Louis Pierre Gravel and the Settlement of the Gravelbourg Area This article examines the role of Father Gravel in the Francophone settlement of the Gravelbourg area of Saskatchewan. It also explores the pressures that drove thousands of Francophones to settle in the West and the Church's role in this colonization project. Ultimately, Father Gravel, though an important figure in the settlement process, was not as important as the chain migration and economic factors that encouraged Francophone prairie settlement. The Saskatoon Quakers: The Rise and Fall of Community Hockey Heroes The author chronicles the history of the Saskatoon Quakers hockey club, which enjoyed enormous success in the 1930s and 1940s, including winning the 1934 World Hockey Championship. However, by the late 1960s the club was in trouble, facing competition from the new Saskatoon Blades at the same time as it faced a downturn in attendance and on-ice success. By 1972, the Quakers had folded, but they left a rich legacy for hockey and community historians. The Hyas Doukhobour Settlement The author explores the founding and dissolution of the Doukhobour settlement of Hyas, Saskatchewan. The Doukhobours who settled in Hyas had rejected traditional communal farming practices and farmed independently. The lack of a suitable transportation links proved to be the downfall of the community, as many eventually left and settled elsewhere in order to be closer to the rail lines which were so integral to farming at the turn of the century.
