The first Native
inhabitants lived for thousands of years hunting bison
(which existed in herds of hundreds of thousands), fishing
on the seemingly numberless lakes, and supplementing their
diets with berries, roots and herbs.
Of particular interest to visitors to the Parkland are the
churches. Never was the burden of homesteading too great,
nor resources too scarce, for the construction in each town
of one or more churches, often modest in dimensions, but
grand in design, in the true spirit of Old World
architecture.
The traditional onion shaped domes are the dominant feature of most
historic Parkland churches. Nearly any church you find in
the Parkland will be worth a closer look. You’ll find them
in every town, along the highway, and hidden among groves of
trees down little-used side roads.

| The Parkland of Manitoba |
Among the
few refuges left from urban development and the sprawling
encroachment of civilization is Manitoba's Parkland region,
where streams continue to flow through unknown woods as they
have for ages, and wild life can still be seen
throughout vast sections
of forest and meadow.
Parkland is the name given to a region in the Canadian
province of Manitoba. Embracing the Town of Roblin, it is
located in the western part of the province, lying between
Lake Manitoba/Lake Winnipegosis and the
Manitoba/Saskatchewan border. The region comprises a land
area of 28,209.93 km² (10,891.91 sq mi) and a population of
50,000.. Riding Mountain National Park and Duck Mountain
Provincial Park are both located in the region. Manitoba's
highest point, Baldy Mountain, is also located here.
It is a common misconception that Manitoba's Parkland region
was so named on account of the many parks to be found here.
According to geographers, the term "parkland" refers to an
area where the grasslands of the prairies give way to the
more densely forested regions of the north.
Since Riding Mountain was first declared a forest reserve in
1895, people have recognized the scenic beauty of the area,
the importance of the habitat for wildlife, and the
potential for recreation and relaxation to be found in these
lands. In total, nearly 10 000 sq. km (3,900 sq. miles) of
the Parkland is shared by the nationally- and
provincially-designated parks and forest reserves. Your
visit to the Parkland is sure to bring you to one or more of
these areas. Below are listed some of the things you can
expect to see and do while adventuring here in Nature's
playground.
When the railway came at the turn of the century, European
settlers, many from Eastern Europe and Ukraine, turned the
area into one of the richest grain-producing regions in the
world. And as the plow transformed idle grasslands to fields
ripe with grain, so too did the hearts of the settlers
transform the cultural landscape of the region. The
lingering spirit of these pioneers can be felt in every
church and school, every field and forest to which these
pioneers applied themselves. Your journey throughout the
Parkland is sure to be rich in the heritage of the distant
lands and cultures which left an indelible mark on the local
customs and landscape.
