This series highlights Canada's stunning parks and sites that protect the environment and showcases the various historic aspects of our country. Parks Canada protects and administers 37 national parks, 10 national park reserves, 171 (out of 1004) national historic sites, 5 national marine conservation areas, and one national urban park (as of 2023).
Linear Mounds (Manitoba) was designated as a national historic site of Canada in 1973 because it contains some of the most spectacular and best-preserved examples of mortuary mounds belonging to the Devil's Lake-Sourisford Burial Complex. Located near the Souris River in southern Manitoba, the Linear Mounds burial site is a sophisticated construction consisting of three mounds spread out over a large area of land. Dating from ca. 900 to 1400, they are complex constructions of soil, bone and other materials. Their excellent state of preservation has yielded a wealth of information concerning life in the Great Plains at this time, revealing, by the nature of the goods found, that the peoples of this area were part of a continent-wide trading network.
