Frontier (2016–2018)

My thoughts...my history

[6/10 · 11 March 2018]

My interest in the show is a personal one...my 4x grandfather James Monkman was a stow away from England to the New Land in 1793. He landed at York Factory and was contracted with HBC as a seaman. He was 18. He married Mary Swampy Cree in 1804. Presently the Monkman Clan spreads across our Nation, as Métis, Status and Non-Status, and many who know nothing of their lineage and connection to this time. This show gives me a sense of what my ancestors endured in order to survive the harsh climate of this time in history. I am fascinated. Thank you for giving me somewhat of a reference to my personal history.
