A spring snowstorm envelopes a replica of a buffalo pound and teepee in Wanuskewin Heritage Park, Saskatoon.

The pounds (circular corrals) were built by the aboriginal people, usually in low-laying areas, and used to herd and capture bison. The bison provided a year-round source of food; hides (skins) provided materal for shelters and clothing. This buffalo pound replica can be found just a short walk from the information centre.
