Traces of ancient history are preserved through Indigenous Rock Art (Pictographs), red ochre pictographs of humans, animals and geometric shapes. These protected sites along the historic Churchill River and Sturgeon-Weir River systems are only accessible by water. Visits to these culturally sensitive locations must be conducted with care and respect for First Nations culture and tradition. When visiting, do not attempt to touch the pictographs, and report any damage to these sites to the local RCMP detachment or the Heritage Conservation Branch. The book, "Aboriginal Rock Painting of the Churchill River" by Tim E. H. Jones is available at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Regina.
