Company Overview

Wanuskewin Heritage Park, in Saskatchewan, invites people to come and learn about the history and culture of Northern Plains Aboriginal peoples. The variety of indoor and outdoor sites and activities teach the guests about 6, 000 years of the Northern Plains Indians history.

Wanuskewin Heritage Park has nine kilometres of walking trails. On these trails, visitors can see archaeological digs in progress, a medicine wheel, tipi rings, bison jumps, habitation sites and more. Nineteen pre-contact sites have been discovered in the park making Wanuskewin a true historic travel adventure.

In the main exhibit hall, more than six thousand years of history come to life - history you can touch, through interactive exhibits and computer activated displays. The theatres offer multi-media shows through which visitors can explore the archaeology, history, natural beauty, and spirituality of Wanuskewin. An art gallery features contemporary art from Indigenous cultures from around the world. If entertainment is more your style, then sit back and enjoy the many talented First Nations entertainers and artists. See traditional to contemporary dances as well as Aboriginal arts and crafts demonstrations. If you're hungry, try some traditional Native food in the restaurant, and then take home a memory by purchasing authentic First Nations merhandise at the gift shop.

Wanuskewin also provides meeting and catering facilities which are designed to reflect the natural beauty and human history that surrounds it. Our award winning facility offers all the modern conveniences and personal service that ensure successful meetings and social events.
