On Western Trails in The Early Seventies

John McDougall (1842-1917) was a missionary, civil servant and published author in Alberta, Canada. McDougall was born in Sydenham, Upper Canada, but they moved west to the boreal forest trading post of Norway House in 1860. He followed in his father's footsteps and did missionary work in the western Prairies. McDougall worked for multiple governments on First Nations issues over the years and worked with Native leaders to lobby governments to improve conditions for their people, such as travelling with Little Bear to Ottawa.
