Biographical history
Alphonse Little Poplar, 1921-1989, was born on the Sweet Grass reserve, near Battleford, Saskatchewan. He attended the Thunderchild Residential School until the age of 14, then returned to the reserve and at first took up a traditional First Nations life. He married Irene Fine Day, and in 1945 they began a mixed farm, which grew to 600 acres. He became active as a Cree historian beginning in 1969, when he collected stories for the book, Towards a New Past. His own history was recorded in Tales of Little Poplar, co-written by David Doyle.
