I would like to make one note very quickly here. This issue of jurisdiction is seriously problematic. Battleford, Saskatchewan, was the legislative seat for the Northwest Territories at the turn of the century. For years it was in debate as to who should own, who should look after that building. There was a little historical society trying to resurrect that, but there was no provincial, no federal, and no territorial government that said they would come to bat for the group. It burned down two years ago. It's gone.
Part of the problem we're faced with is that this is our history, collectively, but we don't have people stepping up to the bat, except for the little historical societies in towns of 2,000 people.
