“Aboriginal history in this part of the world dates back much further than the history books would have us believe,” explained Elder Jerry Saddleback during a recent interview. “Our history here goes back more than 7,000 years, maybe as many as 10,000. We do not believe that we came here via the Bering Strait or over the mountains from ancient Asia; we believe that we were the first people to inhabit this continent. The region around Queen Elizabeth Park was once known as Pehonan and it encompassed an area that includes the entirety of Rossdale Flats – in fact it was much larger. The name Pehonan means ‘gathering place’ and was always referred to as ‘the place where the many Indian trails meet.’ This area was often visited by Aboriginal peoples from many different places, including Kansas, Iowa, Montana, even Central America"
