PETITE VILLE HERITAGE PLAQUE UNVEILED

Released on July 26, 2008

A plaque recognizing The Petite Ville Métis Archaeological Site near Batoche Saskatchewan as a Provincial Heritage Property was unveiled today by the Government of Saskatchewan.

"Saskatchewan's Métis people have a long and proud history," Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Christine Tell said. "The Petite Ville Métis Archaeological Site contains rich archaeological information on a pivotal period in the history of the Métis. Heritage plays an important role in defining our identity, beautifying our communities, diversifying our cultural landscape and providing sites and events that support tourism."

The Petite Ville Archaeological Site is one of 49 provincially designated heritage sites. Saskatchewan's Heritage Property Act ensures that the province's irreplaceable and non-renewable heritage is protected and preserved for the benefit of Saskatchewan residents.

The site contains rich archaeological information on a pivotal period in the history of the Métis - their transition from nomadic buffalo hunting to a sedentary agricultural existence. The variety and diversity of archaeological features at Petite Ville, including buried building structures in an undisturbed context, are rare.

The Provincial Heritage Property plaque unveiling was held in conjunction with "Back to Batoche Days", when many gather to celebrate Métis culture and heritage.
