This guided program invites students to explore Writing-on-Stone / Aisinaipi Provincial Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and discover ancient petroglyphs and pictographs created by Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot people) long ago. Through guided observation and age-appropriate discussion, students learn how pictures and symbols were used to tell stories and share knowledge, connecting to Alberta Social Studies outcomes about communities, history, and respect for First Nations cultures. The program encourages curiosity about the natural environment by observing how wind and water shape the landforms, and how people interact with nature. This outdoor learning experience will include traditional storytelling to help build respect for cultural heritage, the land, and ways people have communicated over time.
