Writing-on-Stone / Áísínai’pi, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Canada, recognized in 2019, is a sacred landscape in Alberta with thousands of Indigenous rock carvings and paintings dating back over 2,000 years. Created by the Blackfoot people, its petroglyphs and pictographs on sandstone hoodoos depict spiritual visions and historical events, set in a striking prairie river valley. This site reflects Canada’s deep Indigenous heritage, blending art, culture, and nature in a powerful testament to ancestral traditions.
