History[edit | edit source]
- The first peoples were Indigenous, including Cree, Dakota, Dene (Chipewyan), Assiniboine and Saulteaux.
- It was part of the territory granted to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1670, called Rupert's Land.
- The expansion of the fur trade and European settlement saw the growth of another group of peoples called Métis, who were the descendants of mixed Indigenous European families.
- In 1869, the Government of Canada acquired all the land belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company.
- From 1870 until 1905, the area became a part of the North-West Territories.
- In 1882, the southern region was divided into the Districts of Saskatchewan and Assiniboia. In 1895, the northern region became part of the Athabasca District.
- The arrival of the railway in the mid-1880s opened the area to immigrants from the United States, Great Britain and Europe, as well as migrants from eastern Canada.
- In 1885, the grievances of the Métis people led to the North-West Resistance, also known as the North-West Rebellion.[1]
