Black History Month: Exploring Black History of the Western Canadian Prairies

Central Library 800 3 St S.E., Calgary

John Ware was among Alberta’s first non-white settlers. The Black cowboy, born sometime between 1845 and 1850 in the southern United States, followed fortune and cattle herds north from Texas to Canada in 1882. He established his own ranch near Millarville. Hear how a team from U of Calgary conducted a four-week excavation of the site in 2025.
