Wanuskewin Heritage Park
Wanuskewin Heritage Park is a First Nations archaeological site and cultural center. Its name, derived from the Cree language, means "being at peace with oneself." Recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada, the park showcases archaeological materials that span over 6,000 years of Northern Plains history. Notable monuments at the site include stone cairns, man-made piles of stones, and tipi rings, circular patterns of stones set by indigenous people across the plains of both the United States and Canada. The site also features medicine wheels, ancient sacred stone structures predominantly found in the Great Plains of North America
The site is included on the UNESCO Tentative List under the official name, Wanuskewin.
