.Saskatchewan, along with all other parts of North America has a rich Aboriginal history. Discoveries near the area indicate habitation 5200 years ago. These discoveries give evidence of people more advanced than those of the Paleo-Indian period. These people were semi-nomadic and had trading contacts. During the 1 to 800 AD period Besant people dominated the region. Later the area was dominated by Cree and Dakota Sioux.
