Cultural Native: Ecotourism And Art In Saskatchewan

Welcome World Traveller To Our Website! The use of Medicinal plants and herbs remains as a way of life in the Native Culture of Northern Saskatchewan. Traditionally, our people relied on Nature to provide the remedies for many ailments. These ways are still in use and help to ensure the health of us, in a holistic manner, respecting the Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical aspects of our being. Medicine Walks are offered to allow for those interested to gain further knowledge in the importance of retaining this knowledge.

We, Rose and Ric Richardson, continue to use the knowledge of our Heritage, and pick numerous medicines, which we consider Gifts from our Creator. Rose is quite knowledgeable about the local plant life, and their Medicinal uses. Ric assists with this work, and is an artist, mainly carving with Moose Antler and Wooly Mammoth Ivory. We are currently renovating an historic railroad station, to be the home of our Art Gallery as well as a lunch stop, with excellent coffees, for travellers to our area.

To further educate and entertain our visitors, there is a wide variety of antiques and memorabilia on display, which help to give a "postcard" view of life in the North, over many years. From it's initial roots in the Fur Trade in 1782, Green Lake has come a long way in the history of Saskatchewan, Canada, and the Metis people, at least in part due to it being the third oldest community in Saskatchewan, and because it is located at the "Gateway" to Northwestern Saskatchewan. Staying at our RV park will allow you to further explore the numerous recreational opportunities that our region offers.

Whether you are passing through or making it a destination, you will carry warm memories with you, after you have experienced the Keewatin Junction Station!
