Saskatchewan (province)

Japanese: サスカチェワン[州]（英語表記）Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is located almost in the center of Canada's 10 provinces. Its area is 651,900 km2 and its population is 1.02 million (1995). Its capital and largest city is Regina. Immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe, including Germans and Ukrainians, make up about one-third of the population, and the proportion of Indians is higher than in other provinces. The northern third of the province is part of the Canadian Shield, while the southern two-thirds is flat and made up of prairies. However, the two great rivers of North and South Saskatchewan meander through the prairies, providing a rich and varied landscape.

カナダ10州のほぼ中央に位置する州。面積65万1900km2。人口102万(1995)。州都および最大都市はレジャイナ。ドイツ系，ウクライナ系など中･東欧からの移民が人口の約3分の1を占め，また他州に比べインディアン人口の比率も高い。州の北部3分の1はカナダ楯状地に属するが，南部3分の2は大草原で平たんである。しかし，ノース･サスカチェワン，サウス･サスカチェワンの両大河が大草原を蛇行して流れ，変化に富む景観を提供している。
