Wanuskewin Heritage Park will be the setting today for a new film about the life of a historic leader.
Big Bear defended First Nations people during the signing of treaty.
He was eventually thrown into jail by the government even though he worked tirelessly to prevent bloodshed.
Members of the public are invited to watch a one-hour documentary exploring his life and his significance to the Canadian landscape.
Park spokesman Tyrone Tootoosis says it’s important leaders like Big Bear aren’t forgotten.
The film is part of a 12-part series on the lives of famous Canadians.
