Wanuskewin Heritage Park

|
Located about 3 km / 2 mi north of Saskatoon the Wanuskewin Heritage Park - from the Cree word "Wanuskewin" meaning "living together in harmony" - aims to encourage a better understanding of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the region in earlier times.
The park, spread over 360 acres of land purchased in 1983 from the Meewasin Valley Authority (the body responsible for the river valleys around Saskatoon) is the site of some exciting archaeological discoveries, research into which has established that Plains Indians lived in the area at least 6000 to 7000 years ago.
