I thought I knew the bloody saga of Frog Lake. Then I learned another side of the story A deadly encounter in 1885, between Cree warriors and settlers in Alberta, is part of my heritage. But a recent discovery has cast the events in a new light

History is a narrative. Who gets to tell it sets the scene. But with luck, the whole story gets told.
