"Seeking Peace of Mind"
"Á La Recherche De La Tranquillité"
People have occupied the Plains of North America for thousands of years. Here at Wanuskewin many archeological features have been identified, representing most of the known elements which characterize Northern Plains prehistory. These elements range from surface features such as tipi rings to buried campsites over 4,000 years old. Several major bison kill sites as well as ceremonial boulder alignment known as a medicine wheel are found here. Wanuskewin offers a rare opportunity to observe the interaction of the original inhabitants of this area with the world around them over several millenia.
