Most people lived in one during the first two tears of homesteading because it was affordable, only 4 or 5 dollars. Many people came without a cent – usually worked a half section for others. Women were usually left alone during the summers. Pioneers always worried about the winter – women spent time in the kitchen preparing food for winter; men worried about fuel – cut railways tires for fuel. Pioneers always worried about tomorrow, the hard way of life molded a spirit of stubborn independence. The depression on the parries left on with a respect for money and a sense of impermanence, Mike and Joe Hashi (sp?) had lived in a converted chicken house during their first winter on the prairies. This made them determined to build their own home as soon as possible. They had come to Alberta 35 years ago during the expulsion of the Japanese from the west coast. Miek Hashi tells story of job painting brands on sheep and had a dog to help him herd sheep down the highway. Ed and Barbara Deetson were homesteaders and had cut their own lumber to build their house. Barbara Deetson feels children in the cities don’t’ learn the sense of responsibility that one can learn on a farm. Most prairie people still yearn for a simple direct way of life. Worries about preparing children to enter the urban world- the competitive spirit in the prairie cities, it is no longer a simple life. Half the population on the prairies now live in major cities and more are moving into the cities from the farms. Prairie values are fading away as people become more urbanized. Indian people want to be treated as an equal as any other ethnic group. They want more respect for their culture and to be able to move into society and be accepted. General ethnic influence is still prevalent in the West. “Canadian Mosaic,” The finest of each nation help to create the Canadian nation. Prairie people, stubborn, fighting hard to shape the new West as the old West prairie people have learned to adjust to change. Isaac Rice, magistrate at Winnipeg, notes that people are forgetting the basic reason why they came to this country, most came to get away from some kind of oppression, depression, etc. in their own country – wanted freedom.
