Wasnuskewin Heritage Park – Saskatoon

“Located 15 minutes outside of the city, visit one of Canada’s most vibrant, authentic Indigenous experiences: Wanuskewin. The name means “gathering place,” and has remained so for thousands and thousands of years. Relive the stories of the people who came here to hunt bison, gather food and medicines, and take shelter from the winter winds so long ago. This history comes to life alongside thriving modern Indigenous culture. A proposed UNESCO world heritage site, Wanuskewin has the longest-running archeology site in Canada with artifacts dating back 6,400 years — that’s older than the Egyptian pyramids!

 

At Wanuskewin, locals and visitors alike learn about the diverse and rich culture of Indigenous peoples. This sacred ground will provide your clients with an incredible connection to the land, history, and yourself.” (Booklet Positive Lived Experiences of Quality in the Built Environment 2024, p.64).
