Wetaskiwin

Wetaskiwin lies in the parkland of central Alberta, where groves of aspen break the prairie near the Battle River. Its name is drawn from a Cree expression associated with the nearby Peace Hills. The country was travelled and used by Cree and Blackfoot peoples, whose relationships included both conflict and diplomacy. The hills stand above a landscape of lakes and grasslands, between the open plains to the south and the more heavily wooded country to the north.

The later city of Edmonton lies here.
