Nutana Pioneer Cemetery, Pioneer cemetery from 1884 in Diefenbaker Management Area, Saskatoon, Canada

The cemetery spans 5.6 hectares along the South Saskatchewan River bank, featuring grass-covered areas marked by tombstones, footpaths, and scattered trees.

The first burial occurred in 1884 when Robert Clark died from pneumonia after fighting a prairie fire near the South Saskatchewan River.

The central memorial cairn commemorates individuals who died during prairie hazards and the Riel Resistance, including members of the Clark, Trounce, and Fletcher families.

Visitors can access the cemetery at the intersection of Ruth Street West and St. Henry Avenue, with guidance to avoid touching or leaning on grave markers.

The cemetery contains 162 documented burials, including 51 infants and 14 children under age 16, reflecting the severe conditions of early settlement life.
