Description:... Of eleven Saskatchewan boulder configurations examined by the authors, three were found to correlate to astronomical phenomena. Although a search for local oral traditions which might explain these associations proved largely fruitless, there was some evidence that the configurations may have functioned as memorials to dead chiefs and as year-beginning markers for past calendar keepers.
