The name '''Saskatchewan''' is derived from the Cree word kisiskâciwanisîpikikimasiy meaning ''swift-flowing [[river]].'' Saskatchewan is a province of [[Canada]] between [[Alberta]] and [[Manitoba]]. [[Mineral]] resources include world-class deposits of [[potash]] and [[uranium]] as evidenced by cities with names like ''Uranium City''.
Manitoba's geography includes [[prairie]]s, tree-covered [[plain]]s, [[forest]]s, and [[taiga]]. The climate is continental, characterized by large seasonal [[temperature]] ranges and low [[precipitation]]. European contact with Indian peoples occurred during the [[fur]] trade era, and increased when agricultural settlement began in the late 19th century. In the early 20th century, that settlement history produced a largely agrarian population concentrated on [[farm]]s and in communities across the prairie.
In 2006, provincial Gross Domestic Product was over $36 billion. Saskatchewan has what is called a "wheat economy" as most of its exports are agricultural.
