D'Arcy Students Visit Ancient Echoes

Students from D'Arcy School recently visited Ancient Echoes Interpretative Centre in Herschel.

Ancient Echoes is nestled at the junction of the Coalmine Ravine and the Eagle Creek and provided the student with both indoor and outdoor tours of Paleontology sites (dinosaur and fossil displays and dig), Prairie Grasslands Ecology (virgin prairie medicine and food plants, animals in the wild and taxidermy displays), and Indigenous History (petroglyphs, rock formations, effigies, archaeological dig, ceremonial circles, buffalo jump, food processing site, tool artifacts and pottery making displays). The Center also features a permanent art exhibition by Métis artist, Jo Cooper, which expresses a visual and oral story called “The Disappearance and Resurgence of the Buffalo”. Additionally, sculptures outside the centre stimulate the imagination as well as humour. ‍
