Cypress Hills Massacre National Historic Site is
located about 2 km south of Fort Walsh National Historic Site in a broad
valley bottom where American traders attacked a Nakoda camp. The rolling
Prairies landscape is broken only by reconstructions of two former
trading posts, Farwell’s and Solomon’s, involved in the massacre. The
formal recognition refers to the associated landscape and archaeological
remains surviving from the debacle on what is now Parks Canada’s
property, although the actual site of the massacre extends beyond these
boundaries.
Le lieu historique national Massacre-de-Cypress
Hills est situé environ à 2 kilomètres au sud du lieu historique
national de Fort-Walsh dans une vallée à fond large où les commerçants
américains ont attaqué un camp Nakoda. Le paysage ondulant des Prairies
n'est entrecoupé que par la reconstruction des deux anciens postes de
traite de Farwell et de Solomon qui furent impliqués dans le massacre.
La reconnaissance officielle fait référence au paysage associé et aux
vestiges archéologiques qui subsistent de la débâcle sur ce qui est
maintenant la propriété de Parcs Canada, quoique le lieu réel du
massacre s'étende au-delà de ces frontières.
