Hi Leah, thanks so much for your message and I’m very sorry for your loss. Did you check out “The Names on the Cairn” post from yesterday to see if he’s listed on there? I ask you to look because you might recognize a differently spelled name, place, time or age that will click for you. If he’s not on there, I may have some other suggestions to follow up.

Anna – it is tough to find! It sounds like you have a lot of ties to this place. I’m sorry to hear that you lost so many relatives in this way, away from home, and probably far too soon in some cases. Once all the snow is gone I hope to go back and see if there are any signs of where individual bodies were laid to rest, but my understanding is they could only figure out general areas. I’ll be writing about this some more in the coming days.

My dad’s brother, our great grandfather and one of our cousins is at this gravesite. As well as many other relatives from Bathurst Inlet and Cambridge Bay. Yes the Cemetary is hard to find – we went to a gas station to find out where the right street was and also called one of our relatives in Cambridge Bay from that gas station. When you arrive to St. Albert I think you are on Churchill Road. From Churchill Road find #1 Poundmaker’s Road. It is a long way down Poundmaker’s Road to get to the Lodge then you drive along to find the gravesite. It is a very beautiful place. But we couldn’t find exactly where our relatives were laid to rest. So maybe one day that will be our next step.

Hi Mary Ann, the marker/cairn is in the St. Albert Municipal Cemetery just outside St. Albert City limits in Sturgeon County. If you look at the post on this site called The Aboriginal Cemetery, there’s a small schematic map showing the rough location. If you’re looking on Google Maps or in your GPS, put in Poundmaker’s Lodge or Poundmaker Road to zero in on it. Hope that helps!
