The area marks the meeting of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, where artifacts dating back six millennia have shed light on the trade, fishing and bison hunting of Aboriginal peoples. Today, The Forks celebrates this rich history with the Oodena (Cree for "centre of the city") Celebration Circle, a natural shallow amphitheatre marked with ethereal sculptures, a sundial, interpretive signage, a naked eye observatory and a ceremonial fire pit, which also plays host to Aboriginal Day and various special events. Throughout The Forks you will also find shops like Teekca's Aboriginal Boutique, where you can buy artisanal gifts crafted by First Nations. theforks.com • 204.942.6302 The World's Foremost Inuit Art Collection The largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art on earth is housed at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG).

WAG's Canadian indigenous art collection is also stunning and steadily growing, with their Aboriginal Curatorial Resident regularly working at exhibition programming and partnerships with local indigenous organizations and aboriginal communities and artists.
