First Nations in Saskatchewan

First Nations are groups of Indigenous people who have lived in what is now known as Saskatchewan for thousands of years. They have their own unique cultures, languages, and traditions.

Imagine that you have a big family, like aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. That's what First Nations are like - they are big families made up of many people. Each First Nation is different, and they have their own names, languages, and ways of life.

Before the Europeans came to Canada, First Nations people lived in harmony with the land, hunting, fishing, and gathering food. They had their own laws, beliefs, and traditions.

Over time, however, the Europeans claimed the land as their own and forced the First Nations to give up their way of life. This was called colonization, and it was a very difficult time for the First Nations people.

Today, the First Nations in Saskatchewan are working hard to reclaim their traditions and languages, and to have their rights respected. They are an important part of the history and culture of Saskatchewan, and it is important to learn about and respect their ways of life.
