The families migrated north to the Canadian Prairies in search of refuge and better opportunities. When the migrants arrived, they built homes, schools, and churches; they also faced hostility and violence from many settlers who reacted to the growing Black population on the Prairies with anger and prejudice. In Saskatchewan, the group of migrants became known as the Shiloh People and lived in a small rural community outside of Maidstone (57 km east of Lloydminster). Shortly after they arrived, the Shiloh People built the Shiloh Baptist Church and Cemetery, a place for the community to worship, gather, celebrate, and bury their ancestors. The film, For Caesar, explores the beginnings of the Shiloh Baptist Church and Cemetery and its significance to the Shiloh People and their descendants. See less
