Posakanaciwiy

Posakanaciwiy recalls the people of the Touchwood Hills, whose Cree name is recorded in forms such as Pasākanacīwiyiniwak. Their country lies north of the Qu'Appelle valley, where wooded hills rise above the surrounding prairie. The Touchwood Hills people formed part of the wider group known as the Downstream People, or Mamihkiyiniwak. Their history binds the names of communities to a landscape of hills, lakes and open grasslands.
