Historical Survey
The Saskatchewan plains were home to the nomadic First Nations people before the arrival of Europeans to the area.
Englishman, Henry Kelsey is the first documented European to enter Saskatchewan in 1690, twenty years after England claimed the territory for the Hudson’s Bay Company. In 1868, Rupert’s Land and the Northwest Territories were transferred from the Hudson’s Bay Company to the Dominion of Canada, after which the Canadian government set about devising guidelines for the settlement of the province.
