Wanuskewin Heritage Park, Archaeological site and cultural center in Corman Park, Canada

Wanuskewin Heritage Park is an archaeological center and cultural facility in Saskatchewan that spans 240 hectares with 19 distinct archaeological sites along Opimihaw Creek. These locations contain evidence of ancient campsites, bison hunting grounds, and gathering places used continuously over thousands of years.

People have gathered at this site for more than 6,000 years; migratory Northern Plains nations came to hunt bison, gather food and herbs, and shelter from winter winds. Scientific investigation began in the early 1930s with the University of Saskatchewan, which still runs active digs. The park opened in June 1992, was designated a provincial heritage property in 1984 and a National Historic Site in 1986.

The park serves as a gathering place representing the heritage of multiple Northern Plains Indigenous groups, including Cree, Assiniboine, Saulteaux, Atsina, Dakota, and Blackfoot nations. Visitors today can observe traditional craftsmanship and listen to storytellers who share how these communities used and understood the landscape.

The park offers guided walks, traditional craft demonstrations, and storytelling sessions available throughout the year. Wear sturdy shoes for the trails that traverse natural terrain, and prepare for weather conditions that vary significantly with the season.

Plains bison returned to the park in December 2019 after being absent for more than a century. This reintroduction reconnects the landscape with an animal central to Indigenous survival and daily life.
