Hunt Up MOre First Nations History
>>St. Peter Dynevor Anglican Church (PHS) — Standing proudly on the banks of the Red River north of East Selkirk,
St. Peter's marks the only Aboriginal Anglican parish in the entire settlement. Built in the mid-19th century, it's now the final
resting place of Chief Peguis — defender of First Nations' rights and friend to the Red River settlers. Take a nature walk of the
grounds in early spring while the sap is flowing, or attend regular Sunday services beginning in June.

>>Trappist Monastery Ruins (PHS) —
Established in St. Norbert in 1892 by
five members of the Trappist Order (from
Bellefontaine, France), the monastery was
gutted by fire in 1982 after the monks
relocated to the nearby town of Holland.
While still operational, the self-sufficient site
featured milking barns, stables, a cheese
house, apiary, sawmill and cannery. Visit
the St. Norbert Arts Centre or stop by the
Trappist Monastery Ruins
Ground Roots Café for a meal made with
food sourced directly from the St. Norbert
Farmers' Market. www.snac.mb.ca.
