In Peterborough, did you know that…? Peterborough has many Aboriginal Peoples historical sights such as the Petroglyphs in Petroglyphs Park, the Serpent Mounds Park near Keene and a burial site After being partially buried for centuries, the Peterborough Petroglyphs were „rediscovered‟ for contemporary audiences in 1924. The limestone at Peterborough is generally thought to have been carved by the Algonkian people between 900 and 1400 CE. Today, the First Nations people of Ontario call the carvings Kinomagewapkong, meaning "the rocks that teach. The Serpent Mounds Park is owned and operated by Hiawatha First Nation. On a high point of land near Rice Lake are nine burial mounds that enclose the graves of the Point Peninsula people. The largest mound has a zigzag or „serpentine‟ shape.
