Unnatural Histories
Manitoba’s environment has always informed the people who inhabit its lands. The lakes and plains first shaped the lives of indigenous peoples, the fur trade brought together Europeans and First Nations and the natural—and human-built—environment continues to inspire its artists. Over the past 150 years, agriculture, energy and a diversified economy have led to an increasingly urban reality. Between the earth and human ambitions remains the need for environmental and economic sustainability. How can the past and the future be reconciled?About Spur
