About me / Bio:
Father Albert Lacombe was a French-Canadian Roman Catholic missionary who played a significant role in the history of Western Canada. Born on February 28, 1827, in Saint-Sulpice, Lower Canada, he was ordained a priest on June 13, 1849. Lacombe is known for his work among the Cree and Blackfoot First Nations, his efforts in brokering peace between the Cree and Blackfoot, and for facilitating the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway through Blackfoot territory. He was also instrumental in preventing the Blackfoot from joining the North-West Rebellion of 1885. Lacombe's linguistic contributions include translating the New Testament into Cree and co-authoring a Cree grammar and dictionary. He passed away on December 12, 1916, in Midnapore, Alberta, leaving behind a legacy of reconciliation and cultural preservation.
