Wood Mountain Post Provincial Park, Historic provincial park in Saskatchewan, Canada
The Wood Mountain Post Provincial Park extends across 5.48 hectares along Highway 18, featuring two reconstructed buildings from the North-West Mounted Police era.
The site operated as a North-West Mounted Police post from 1887 to 1918, serving to monitor the Canada-United States border and maintain regional law enforcement.
In 1876, the post received 5,000 members of the Lakota Sioux nation led by Chief Sitting Bull who sought protection following the Battle of Little Bighorn.
The park welcomes visitors from June through August, Thursday to Monday between 10 AM and 5 PM, with guided tours and interpretive programs available.
Major James Walsh conducted negotiations at this location with Chief Sitting Bull during a period that shaped relations between law enforcement and Indigenous peoples.
