Buffalo Child Stone, widely known as mostos-awasis asiniy by the Cree people, is a sacred stone that has deep spiritual value to the nations of the great plains. Many gathered at the sacred stone for ceremonial purposes and each nation carries traditional oral history regarding its origins.
In December of 1966, the federal government blew apart Buffalo Child Stone to make way for the Gardiner Dam and Lake Diefenbaker despite resistance from First Nations and non-First Nations people alike. It was a devastating loss for First Nations people.
Today, pieces of Buffalo Child Stone lie at its original spot under Lake Diefenbaker but also in the possession of others who had wished to preserve what they could after its destruction.
