10,000 years of history in the valley
From First Peoples artifacts to pioneer family memories: the Notukeu Museum tells the long human history of southwest Saskatchewan.
An archaeological treasure in the heart of the village
The Notukeu Museum houses a remarkable archaeological collection, the result of decades of research in the Notukeu river valley, owing much to the passionate work of Ponteix researcher Henri Liboiron.
Projectile points, stone tools and everyday objects bear witness to the millennia-long presence of First Peoples on these lands, long before the arrival of settlers.
The museum also presents the memory of the pioneer families: photographs, objects, documents and stories that bring to life the founding of Ponteix and prairie life in days gone by.
