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.
Learn about five generations of Black Albertans and their experiences of discrimination living on the Canadian Prairies. Descendants of African American immigrants candidly share their family histories and discuss how their racial identities have shaped their experiences of living in Alberta.
