Wanuskewin Heritage Park

TIME : 2016/2/19 4:04:51

Devoted to the history of the province's first inhabitants, this riverside heritage park 17km north of Saskatoon, interprets a 7000-year history. At Wanuskewin (wah-nus-kay -win; Cree for 'seeking peace of mind') you can wander interpretive trails through the 116 hectares of grassy hills and valley meadows, discovering some of the 19 pre-contact sites. Invisible from the surrounding prairie, the untouched Opamihaw Valley is a spiritual and sacred place. Cultural dance performances take place on summer afternoons.
