Friday night we ate dinner at Saskatoon Station Place, a classy Victorian themed restaurant that served good food in large portions. We ate the leftovers for lunch on Sunday.
On Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market and then watched the dragon boat races on the Saskatoon river.
In the afternoon we drove to Wanuskewin (http://www.wanuskewin.com/) Heritage Park devoted to the history and culture of the Cree First Nations people of Canada. We helped raise a tipi and walked out to see the northernmost medicine circle in North America. Archeologists still don't know the purpose of medicine circles but think they may have some relation to the seasons and the movement of the stars - maybe similar to Chimney Rock out in Chaco Canyon, CO.
The restaurant served First Nations cooking. We had a bison wrap, honeyed chicken and three sisters soup made with beans, corn and squash -the three sisters.
