Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Northern rock paintings in travelling museum exhibit

By Lisa Goudy

Northern Saskatchewan is filled with red yellowish-brown images against a backdrop of rock cliffs along the Churchill River, but many people don’t get a chance to see them.

Thanks to the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society, a travelling exhibit called Kiwetinohk: The Rock Paintings of Northern Saskatchewan at the Western Development Museum in Moose Jaw, people can view the rock painting pictographs until June 22.


Additional information

The exhibit opened on June 8 and closes on June 22.

The paintings show how the people communicated across Saskatchewan to Quebec.
