What can I learn about Saskatoon ASAP???
Wanuskewin Heritage Park "Wanuskewin Heritage Park sits above the Opimihaw Creek and the South Saskatchewan River near Saskatoon – a window into a part of Canada’s history that remains largely undiscovered, and a link to our past unlike any other National Historic Site in Canada. Wanuskewin’s uniqueness is not just the fact that there exists evidence of ancient peoples, but rather the composition of many different aspects of habitation, hunting and gathering, and spirituality – all in one place." https://wanuskewin.com/our-story/ Our guide is Candace Wasacase-Lafferty, First Nation Cree member. From her, I have learned that
BISON Bison meant life to First Nations: literally, a significant resource for food and spiritually, a symbol of their existence. The extinction of bison also symbolizes the declination of First Nations just like the return the bison to Wanuskewin does the reclamation of their heritage. On a very personal note: Tonight was my first ever karaoke experience.
