A small part of the story that occurred on the land of this First Nation from the early days of European settlement through roughly 2011 is told in the volume "The Pas 100 Years -- Photographs 1912 - 2012". A free digital version of this and many other Manitoba local history books can be found online in the University of Manitoba Digital Collections. There is also a list of such books organized by district and town name on the Manitoba Historical Society's website on their page entitled "Finding Aid: Manitoba Local History Books".
A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #3056), transcribed by a member or members in 2018 and updated in 2020.
