Junction of Highway # 674 Town of Cut Knife, SK
Cut knife, SK, all services, World's largest Tomahawk.
Highway # 674, north to Cutknife Hill Historic Site, Chief Poundmaker Historic Center, Poundmaker Reserves. It was a beautiful spring morning, May 26,1885, when Poundmaker and the Warrior Society, along with some of the women, made their way to Battleford. They had come from the foot of Eagle Hills to meet General Middleton and find out what was to become of them since their victory at the battle at Cutknife Hill. They were the warriors and must never show cowardice in warrior in peace. They had said, 'Let them know that we are not afraid to meet the Chief Soldier.'
Poundmaker had been planning to move in a southwesterly direction with some of his followers, but the warriors persuaded him to meet with General Middleton. After all, he was the spokesman for the Assiniboines and the Crees. This was the day Poundmaker promised to meet the Chief Soldier (Middleton).
