River Assiniboine

The Assiniboin River was first discovered in the XVI century by an Indian tribe that roamed the prairies of Canada. Various landscape characteristic of the coast of Assiniumbon, from flat valleys to steep banks, became a permanent habitat of the "stone Sioux" - Assiniboins, after whom the river got its name.

Despite the fact that the Assiniboins led a nomadic lifestyle, they settled for a long time on the banks of the river. Since the smooth coast of the river and valley were the ideal place for them to live. From there they did business with neighboring tribes.

The length of the river is 1070 kilometers, at the mouth of the river is the city of Winnipeg. The Suris River and the K'Appel River are the main tributaries of the Assiniboin River. The latter completes its current, flowing into the Red River. The area of the Assiniboin basin is about 100 thousand square kilometers.
