Day 1

A soul-inspiring encounter with ancient Canadian Shield culture, heritage and archaeology. Spend your vacation discovering Canada's most spectacular display of Indian rock art -- a breathtaking presentation on towering Precambrian cliffs in remote northern Saskatchewan. With professional archaeologist Tim Jones, author of "Aboriginal Rock Paintings of the Churchill River", and a local Cree Indian guide, explore the multiple painting sites by canoe - just as Indigenous artists did centuries ago. Take part in archaeological research and interpretation, learn about ancient hunting and gathering cultures of the area. Experience a physical and spiritual connection to the land and its fascinating heritage.

The base camp is located near the primary pictograph sites and has rustic cabin accomodation. Transport to and from base camp is by float plane.
