Pehonan | Fort-des-Prairies | The Flats | Rossdale Krahn, Alix Christine
Abstract
Pehonan/Fort-des-Prairies/The Flats/Rossdale is an area located on the northern bank of the North Saskatchewan River in central Edmonton, within the area covered by Treaty 6. The Flats are a site symbolically important to the birth of Edmonton and Alberta, and are an important gathering and ceremonial site in the Indigenous heritage of the prairies. However, in the current time, there is little there to recognize and honour the important history of the Flats. It is perhaps the most significant site in Alberta - yet most locals know nothing about it. To make things worse, there is little physically remaining in the area that speaks to its unique stories. This report engages the fundamental question: “How can we integrate the heritage of the Flats into the planning and urban design of the area?” It presents several concepts intended to foster critical reflection on relevant issues and speculate on possible futures.
