Excerpt from The Province of Saskatchewan, Canada: Its Development and Opportunities The political history Of Saskatchewan, therefore, dates only from 1870 with this nucleus Of government. In 1875 the territory was conceded a Lieu tenant-governor Of its own, While in 1882 the provisional districts of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Athabaska were made. In 1885 there occurred the Saskatchewan rebellion, otherwise known as the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 or the second Riel Rebellion. The encroachment of white settlers upon the lands claimed by the Indians and half-breeds, and, perhaps even more than this, the manner in which the latter were being hemmed in and restricted, led to this armed resentment. Its speedy suppression and prompt adjustment of just complaints marks the last forceful display of the red man's objection to the advance Of civilization.
