Chief Whitecap Park

Chief Whitecap Park

"Something for Everyone"


What Happened Here?

In 1961, the City of Saskatoon bought 350 acres of land from the Government of Canada.


The land was previously used as a rifle range by the Department of National Defense.


In January 1979, this undeveloped land was officially named Chief Whitecap Park by City Council.


Tokenism?



The park’s proposed program plan was designed to provide “Something for Everyone.”




What is Happening Here?

The snow crunches under our feet



We see dogs playing and taking bitefuls of snow

There are traces of deer and jack rabbit...


and many traces of dogs!











We see ROSEHIPS.....




and eat them!







Video of Culture in the park:




What Could Happen Here?

  • we can Remember where we come from...

  • we can See places the way they used to be
