| Scope and content | A photograph of a rock named Mistusseni by Cree people. According to scientists it is a glacial erratic, a large boulder deposited on the open prairie by the last glaciation. It was a subject of great controversy in the 1960s when the lake created by the new South Saskatchewan River Dam project was about to flood over it completely. In the end the rock was blown up. | |
