143 years ago today marked a pivotal moment with the signing of Treaty 7, setting the course to change the landscape of western Canada.

For those of you who don’t know, I was in an accident yesterday. My shirt wast caught by the pto of the tractor and it took me with it. Other than a sprained ar...m and a lot of cuts and burns on my body I am fine. If Gregg Fulton hadn’t been there to grab me when it threw me to the other side I probably wouldn’t be here. It ripped every stitch of clothes off of my body. Dad has some broken ribs but at least he still has a son. Count your blessings we are not promised tomorrow. **UPDATE** **I had no idea this would go viral but maybe that was God’s plan from the beginning. This is a story that everyone should learn from. I am blessed from your prayers an wishes of good health. If you feel like this is important to share then tell everyone. Let my mistake keep others from doing the same,and maybe we can save some lives.** Also the was a guard on it if you look closely you can see it.
