Île-à-la-Crosse sits at the end of a long peninsula on the western shore of Lac Île-à-la-Crosse, and it is the second oldest community in Saskatchewan. The Cree and Dene peoples, who met and traded in the area, called it Sakitawak, meaning "big opening where the waters meet." Its place on a network of lakes, rivers and portages, near the Methye Portage, made it a natural gathering point for Cree, Dene, Scots, English, French and Métis people.
