Pêkiyoke — Come Visit. Reconnect your Heart. Rediscover our History.
Every July, the roads leading to Batoche become more than highways—they become pathways home.
Families return to the banks of the South Saskatchewan River. Old friends reconnect. Children hear stories passed from one generation to the next. The songs, the fiddle music, the language, and the laughter remind us that history is not confined to museums or monuments. It lives in the people who continue to carry it forward.
Continue your journey to the Battle of Duck Lake National Historic Site, where the opening engagement of the 1885 Resistance forever changed the course of Prairie history. Here, Isidore Dumont and Assiywiyin became the first casualties of the conflict, and the echoes of those events continue to shape our understanding of this place today.
These are more than historic sites. They are places of memory, reflection, and connection. Together, they tell a richer story—one of Treaty, resilience, shared histories, and enduring relationships between peoples who have called this homeland home for generations.
Whether you’re travelling to Batoche, returning home after the celebrations, or simply exploring the heart of Treaty 6 Territory, we invite you to take this scenic detour.
Walk where history was made and stand where the ultimate sacrifices were paid.
Experience the landscapes that connect the stories of the Cree and the Métis.
