Canada is a melting pot that never melted. In the town I grew up in there was Chinese businesses and Chinese farmers, one branch of my ancestors and their ancestors arrived in Canada about the same time in the late 1880s. The Chinese appeared more insular but contributed as much to the community. Chinese were never considered the right sort by Canada's Laurentian Elite but neither were most of the western Europeans and all of the eastern Europeans. The Virtuous Victorian Values and racism of Canada's Laurentian Elite only allowed English and certain lines of French into their ranks, all for the greater good of course. There is more diversity in Canada's Indigenous population than European culture but they were all lumped together as mentally feeble and treated like children. Cemeteries on the prairies are segregated along religious lines with the Jewish portion always fenced in and outside the fenced area there is always a couple of solitary graves for some poor souls who did not fit in. Ukrainian Churches in the Canadian Prairies Approximately 170,000 Ukrainians from the Austro-Hungarian crownlands of Galicia and Bukovina (Bukovyna) arrived in Canada from September 1891 to August 1914. The vast majority settled in the prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, where they obtained land to farm. Few of the early immigrants would have called themselves Ukrainian, but rather identified themselves as Galicians, Ruthenians, Hutsuls, Lemkos, or Bukovynians. Most Ukrainians from Galicia, including Ruthenians, Hutsuls, and Lemkos, were Greek Catholic, while those from Bukovyna were Greek Orthodox. The first Ukrainian church built by these early settlers was St. Michael’s Orthodox church in Gardenton, Manitoba, in 1897. The following year in Star, Alberta, the first Ukrainian Greek Catholic church was built.
