Wanuskewin Heritage Park is a renowned example of prairie architecture inspired by the Northern Plains Indigenous Peoples. As a traditional gathering place, Wanuskewin is undertaking a renewal project to increase its ability to foster an environment for gathering, learning and interpreting culture. With a goal of becoming a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage site, Wanuskewin is planning an expansion that involves returning a herd of Plains bison, increasing interpretive elements, and creating a world-class gathering space. The design strategy is rooted in Plains culture, conservation, ecology and incorporating sustainable design elements to reduce impact on nature.
