Saskatchewan | Definitely the case after the bison were gone. Much changed before and after the bison. I am not sure where your from in Sask, but I recommend you to go and see Fort Walsh down in the Cypress Hills.
One remarkable photo they have blown up on the wall was before and after the bison; they show a proud prosperous Blackfoot family. 5 years later they were poor and had pawned off all furs and anything of value.
I read a good book about Canadian prairie settlers called "The Pioneer Years 1895-1914" by Barry Broadfoot. It mentions that it was not that uncommon for settler bachelors who lived alone to freeze to death in winter. | |

How did the settlers/Indians not freeze too death?
