Description:

The prairie past belongs primarily to the First Nations, the inhabitants who occupied what is today southern Alberta and Saskatchewan for at least 12,000 years. They were nomads, anchoring their lives to the buffalo, upon which they depended for virtually everything: food, shelter, clothing, and implements. Touching the land only lightly in their seasonal buffalo rounds, the first people nevertheless left signs of their passage-in enduring stone.
