depended upon this network for the travel and trade
that formed their way of life. Originally, the nomadic
First Nations peoples traversed this area using the
trails, which were then footpaths. The sheltered valley
at a large bend in the Moose Jaw Creek, known
as “The Turn”, provided a rare source of water and
timber and was a traditional camping ground and
an important stopping over place for the increasingly
diverse people groups moving across the Great Plains.
Hunkpapa Lakota Chief Sitting Bull settled here for a
time following the Battle of Little Big Horn. The Turn was
the location of the first known building erected on the
site of the present City of Moose Jaw, a Métis ‘hotel’ of
sorts called the Denomie Cabin.
