German settlements in Saskatchewan

Zusammenfassung: "This book describes the historical formation and contemporary duration of German settlements in Saskatchewan. As treaty lands were opened for settlement, numerous German settlements were developed by German Catholics and Protestants from South Russia (today Ukraine) and eastern Europe, Mennonites and Hutterites. Many of these settlements were planned colonies which duplicated centuries-old German colonies in eastern Europe, others were smaller concentrations of German settlers, or a network of numerous Hutterite colonies. The book then goes on to discuss changing attitudes toward German ethnic identity, trends in German language use, religious affiliations, and intermarriage, the rich legacy of German folk traditions, the longstanding battle over education during earlier years, the wide variety of organizations which preserve German cultural heritage, progressive urbanization and continuing immigration."--Page 4 of cover
