Culture of Saskatchewan - Development of Saskatchewan Culture

Development of Saskatchewan Culture

Large societies often have subcultures, or groups of people with distinct sets of behaviour and beliefs that differentiate them from a larger culture of which they are a part. Western culture is the cultures of the people of European origin and their descendants which comprises the set of literary, scientific, musical, and philosophical principles. The Saskatchewan lifestyle and culture was inter-related with and depended on the ethnic bloc settlement, geo-physical area and rural or urban community. Saskatchewan culture has historically been heavily influenced by English, French, Irish, Scottish and Aboriginal cultures and traditions, and over time has been greatly influenced by American culture due to its proximity and the interchange of human capital.
