Brief Historical Background: Most of Saskatchewan was settled by many indigenous tribes before becoming part of Prince Rupert's Land under the control of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in the 17th century. In 1870, the Dominion of Canada acquired the HBC's territories, having most of the vast area between British Columbia and Manitoba form the North-West Territories. The Dominion Lands Act was then enacted in 1872 to encourage White settlement in the Canadian prairies. Around a decade later, most of the land belonging to the North-West Territories split off for the creation of four provisional districts: Alberta, Assiniboia (not Manitoba), Athabasca, and Saskatchewan. The districts of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan, and Athabaska of the North-West Territories ultimately amalgamated into the Province of Saskatchewan on September 1, 1905.

Personality: Meek and Shy. Sad to say, it's best to ignore and drive through the Breadbasket of Canada rather than give the open prairies a curious glance, according to many Canadians when thinking nothing interesting about her humble existence. She's not exactly the cream of the crop, commonly characterized as a forgettable flatlander who's far too flat and plain in comparison to other Canadian provinces. After all, her whole bread and butter is centred primarily on agriculture, which has moulded the daughter of the soil into a conventional stickler for run-of-the-mill traditions like fowl supper on a regular Friday. Only now in current times has the bashful bumpkin become self-conscious of that rough and unremarkable reputation, almost to the point of being embarrassed at times. It has quite plainly turned her into an insecure and indecisive individual with very low self-esteem. Her peers have to assure her constantly from having emotional breakdowns about it, often telling her to stop being so hard on herself. Because to some degree, they do appreciate her mild modesty and hardy work ethic. More importantly, they have her to thank for being the first to pioneer universal health care in the country. Despite lacking charisma and confidence, her courtesy and compassion for peoples' well-being no matter the circumstances proves she's the salt of the earth, worth paying a polite visit.

Trivia:
+ In the 1890s, Canada welcomed Ukraine as a guest in his home, allowing the Ukrainian woman to stay at Saskatchewan's house as long as she assisted with farming duties. Throughout that period, Ukraine got along with the Prairie Provinces, often cooking for them in gratitude for giving her refuge from the turmoil affecting her homeland at the time.
+ She's the only one among her peers to call a hoodie a "bunny hug."
+ She likes to put mustard on almost everything she eats.
+ She and Manitoba like to play curling whenever they hang out.
+ "Please don't tell me to show my Regina! It's sexual harassment, and it isn't funny! Waaaaah!"
