URANIUM CITY

Uranium City is the northernmost settlement in northern Saskatchewan. It is located on the northern shores of Lake Athabasca near the border with the Nord Western Territory, at an altitude of 230 m. The resort is 760 km from Prince Albert, 760 km from Edmonton and 48 km from the Nor Western Territories and the Saskatchewan border. Looking at the map, it seems that the town is surrounded by pristine forests with a lot of lakes. Imagine just how beautiful it looks when looking out of the plane. It is a real disadvantage that its climate is harsh, and hence there are not enough inhabitants, to whom this town has been a great pleasure in life in nature.

In 1949 S. Cayman was researching radioactive materials around Lake Athabasca near Uranium City. After uranium discovery, the population of Uranium City began to grow rapidly in 1960, only after one announcement of Eldorado resources.

Transportation to Uranium City is possible by plane to a pebbly airport with a length of only 1,199 m. The city of Uranium City has just over 200 inhabitants, mostly working personnel in the mine.

Uranium City is part of the Taiga Shield Ecozone, with a subpolar climate, with long, cold, and snowy winters, short transition periods, and short, cold and moist summers. The temperature range is usually large in size, due to frigidly cold winter temperatures that often go below -30 °C. The highest temperature ever recorded in the settlement was 34.7 °C on July 27, 1984. Wind chill factor, due to wind speed, makes winter temperatures even cooler in winter months than they really are. Uranium City recorded one of the coldest Windchill temperatures -74 °C, on January 28, 2002.

For nature lovers, Uranium City, with Lake Athabasca, can be an appealing destination. Natural beauties are phenomenal, and the catch of the edge is incredible.

WANUSKEWIN

Wanuskewin Heritage Park is a museum complex of the local Cree Indian civilization, the largest Canadian archaeological discovery. The museum contains exhibits from the age of 10,000 years.

In front of the museum building, an Indian artist performs national games, in which his game conveys the lives of different animals. Within the park there are Indian wigwams, in which the natives still live, while their children play around. Just below the building of the museum is a steep slope, a slope, where the Indians have been shooting bison in ancient times. On this slope, the Indians instigated them, the bison survived, then the Indians slaughtered them, cooked the meat or dried it for the winter, and crusted the skin to dry in the sun, and made clothes and shoes from them. This park museum is visited daily by a large number of tourists from all over the continent of America most of whom are Indians of all tribes.

Wanuskewin Heritage Park is a non-profit cultural and historical center of the First Nations. The site has historical significance for its archaeological resources and represents nearly 6000 years of history of the northern plains of this nation.

For more than 6,000 years, people gathered here. Nomadic Indian tribes moving to the north over the plains, collecting food and sheltering here from winter winds. Wanuskewin is also a place where a medical wheel is established. The park is located near the west coast of the South Saskatchewan River, just three kilometers north of Saskatoon. Within its 240 hectares area, there are 19 sites that actively form the Northern Plains Historical Society: Cree, Assiniboine, Soltuc, Atsina, Dakota, and Blackfoot Indian tribes. On the site there are summer and winter camps, places where bison, rings, and fragments of ceramics, plant seeds and animal bones are killed, all in a compact space.

Wanuskewin Heritage Park was officially opened in June 1992; However scientific research in these areas began in the early 1930s. Today, Saskatchewan University manages the archaeological research program in Wanuskewin on active archaeological excavations. The park was established as a provincial heritage site in 1984, the only such site in Saskatchewan that defines prehistoric artifacts. It was appointed in 1986. In the following year, Queen Elizabeth II revealed a panel dedicated to the event.

Wanuskewin Heritage Park is located above the Opimihaw Creek and the South Saskatchewan River at Saskatoon, as a window within the history of Canada that is still largely undiscovered, and a link to the Canadian past, unlike any other national, historic site in Canada. Wanuskewin is unique as a fact that it exists, not only as evidence of ancient nations, but also many different aspects, such as housing, hunting and food gathering, and spirituality - all in one place.

A unique international site interprets history over 6,000 years old Indian culture on the northern plateau. At the given location there are twenty one contact points, four walking paths, medical wheel, various rings, bison, pots, visitors' center, gallery, conference hall, souvenir shop and restaurant.

About 20 kilometers from Saskatoon in Moos Wood is the Indian Reserve White Camp Sioux Reserve 94. The reserve is located on hilly terrain, surrounded by an upper forest and a swamp at the bottom. There are about 40 families in the reserve, have kindergarten and school up to the sixth grade. The white man brought them electricity and a telephone. The white man has also established them a democracy, which "made them happy”. When choosing a boss who is elected every three years, they are giving him the right to one re-election. The Indians are acting lazy, spending the whole day lying around, waiting for the postman to bring them checks from Welfare, instead of being in the hunt. The Indians here say that they are all descendants of the Sioux of the Indians and all of them call themselves "Su." The reserve is surrounded by a wire, forbidden by hunting, which is in their blood, as the inheritance of Ancestors In the Reserve. They are trampled, like the lions on the hot July sun in the saunas. Act and look lost.
