On the northeast nook of Jasper Avenue and 105 Street, you can find a cute little park nestled in downtown Edmonton. When you first come into the park, you’ll discover hand prints alongside the bottom. These handprints create a stroll of honour, a tribute to Indigenous success, known as the Aboriginal Walk of Honour. It acknowledges Indigenous effort and exhausting work of Indigenous peoples bringing new understanding, language, traditions and tradition in Canada.
This park provides homage to Edmonton’s conventional name- Amiskwaciy Waskahikan, that means Beaver Hills House. Edmonton was named this lengthy earlier than the arrival of settlers. It was given this title for the big hills you see when standing on the southern financial institution of the North Saskatchewan River, the place the legislature grounds now sit. In the park, you can find lovely water parts, and somewhat Amisk (beaver) close to the waterfall to say hello to!
