Landing place: Meteorite sacred to generations of Indigenous peoples to be returned after routing through museums
“It came from the Creator and was brought here to help our people,” said Wally Fox, a Cree knowledge keeper and former chief of the Onion Lake Cree Nation. The stone’s arrival generations ago placed it at the intersection of Cree and Blackfoot territories, near present-day Hardisty, Alta. The event was so well known even Dene people from farther north were known to venture south to visit the stone.
