Under Western Skies

I was very disappointed not to be able to attend Under Western Skies, the super-conference hosted by the inestimable Rob Boschman this month at Mt. Royal University in Calgary. It's SO not like being there, certainly, but here's a gathering of links to assorted notes online about how people experienced the conference:

• Holly Friesen's short note about her paintings exhibited there (with images!)
• Rachel Ott, on the "hot and not" of UWS
• Rachel Ott, on Andrew Nikiforuk's keynote address, "Canada Over a Barrel"
• Frances Widdowson's summary of her own paper (plus link to the full text), "'Indigenous Ways of Knowing' and the Environment: Does Epistemological Relativism Contribute to the Protection of Western Lands?"
• Catherine Szabo's brief news article in The Reflector

Anyone got another link out there?
