Broadside concerning the Doukhobor reserve

1907

This 1907 poster was distributed widely throughout Saskatchewan when the Minister of the Interior, Frank Oliver, opened the Doukhobor reserves to regular settlement. Having strong religious and pacifist beliefs, the Doukhobors refused to swear an oath of allegiance - one of the conditions homesteaders had to meet before receiving their homestead grant - resulting in their removal from the reserve that the federal government had promised them.
