In time, the Plains Ojibwa, Assiniboine and Plains Cree became the prominent groups in the south, all of them seminomadic bison hunters. To the north, in the western subarctic region, the Slave and Chipewyan people were primarily caribou hunters who supplemented their diet with musk ox, moose, arctic hare and fish. They lived in skin or bark houses (not unlike the tepee, but more rounded) in semipermanent settlements. The first European to see Saskatchewan was the English explorer Henry Kelsey, who arrived in the 1690s. The fur trade soon attracted others, and the Hudson's Bay Company began to establish its dominion over great stretches of territory. Eventually, permanent settlements began to spring up, as farmers and ranchers tried their luck on the prairie, especially after the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880s.

1975 - 2005 Celebrating 30 Years of Literary Excellence Giving Voice to Saskatchewan Culture In The Beginning... In June of 1975, four writers decided it was time to help make Saskatchewan voices heard in the publishing world. Bob Currie and Gary Hyland were poets and school teachers from Moose Jaw and, Barbara Sapergia and Geoffrey Ursell were former Moose Javians who were living and writing in Regina. Together, they financed the publication of two poetry chapbooks and Coteau Books, the book publishing arm of Thunder Creek Publishing Cooperative, was born. Number One Northern covered Saskatchewan poetry to the mid-seventies, and Sundogs Heading Out, A Sudden Radiance, Saskatchewan Gold and Sky High , to name a few. Coteau still sees its mandate as providing an outlet for the creative expression of the literary community. Only now, 28 years later, it is a "community" that has expanded in genres to novels, juvenile fiction, creative non-fiction (including the Herstory calendar) and drama, and authors from all parts of Canada. And, our marketing and distribution efforts cover not only Canada and the United States, but all around the world. Coteau Books has been extremely successful in achieving its goal of giving voice to the literary artists of this province and beyond, and attracting public attention for those artists. As of this year, the press has well over 100 titles in print, and is bringing out more than a dozen new titles each year.

As well as celebrating our province, Coteau Books is honoured to have this series dedicated to LaVonne Black. LaVonne Black worked tirelessly for the Saskatchewan education system for many years, and was known and admired across the province for her dedication and her exuberant spirit. Upon her untimely death in 2003, a Memorial Fund was established to honour her legacy to the province. Coteau Books is very proud to have been selected to partner in this lasting acknowledgement of her involvement with, and her commitment to, the young minds of our province. Each From Many Peoples title will contain the LaVonne Black story. The legacy project will have a number of elements, including publication of the four titles in the series; donation of a gift set of all four books to every school in the province, and visits by the From Many Peoples authors to schools across Saskatchewan. Coteau Books also gratefully acknowledges the support of Saskatchewan Culture Youth and Recreation From Many Peoples Project

Saskatchewan Lotteries Community Grant Program The Saskatchewan Lotteries Community Grant Program assists in the development of sport, culture and recreation programs by providing funds to non-profit community organizations operated by volunteers. These funds are distributed through local governments and are a partnership among Sask Sport Inc., SaskCulture Inc., Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association Inc. and Saskatchewan Culture, Youth and Recreation. The goal of this program is to get people involved in sport, culture and recreation activities by enabling communities to address the needs of local residents. If the community grant is more than $2,000, a portion of the total grant must be used for programs aimed at increasing participation for under-represented populations such as indigenous people, seniors, women, the economically disadvantaged, persons with a disability, and single-parent families. The under-represented requirement can be met by including these populations in regular programs and/or by creating special programs to meet their needs. Organizations that are eligible to receive funding include: municipal governments (city, town, village, organized hamlet or rural municipality), Indian band councils or northern settlements. These authorities distribute funds to local non-profit, volunteer, community groups to provide programs.

These groups have participated in various festivals in North America and Europe. Visual Arts The ranks of the Fransaskois artistic community are filled with talented and imaginative people whose reputations go well beyond the boundaries of Saskatchewan. Joe Fafard, Wilf Perreault, Charley Farrero and Michelle Touchette are just a few of the Fransaskois artists who have achieved national and a international recognition Every year, a travelling exhibition displays the works of Fransaskois artists in over a dozen urban and rural communities.
