  • History of Mining in Saskatchewan

    History of Mining in Saskatchewan

    History of Mining In Saskatchewan Early Mining in Saskatchewan The earliest mining occurred when earth’s inhabitants started using various stones for tools or certain clays for cooking vessels. The earliest recorded occupation in Saskatchewan was around 9000 B.C. at the Niska site in the southern part of the province. Ample evidence of the use of stone tools, arrow heads, and spear heads, etc. has been found in the area. Much of the material used by these early inhabitants was imported or traded from other regions of North America. The study of the stone tools provides us with information about the people’s work, their history, their religion, their travels and their relationships with other groups or nations. Stone is readily available throughout most of Saskatchewan. This was especially important for Saskatchewan’s First Nations people who moved their camps frequently in search for food. The stones available were not all suitable for tools and they needed a constant supply of stone material that broke cleanly or was hard enough for pounding. Consequently, they made regular trips to the source areas or traded with people who lived near the sources. For these early residents of our province, the exchange of goods was more than just a means of acquiring things. Bartering and gift exchange was a means of creating and reinforcing relationships between individuals, families and nations. For thousands of years, goods have been exchanged through networks that extended across North America. Although perishable goods were also traded, our records are in the form of shell or stone artefacts.
