The Saskatoon area was inhabited long before any permanent settlement was established, to which the ongoing archaeological work at [[Wanuskewin Heritage Park]] and other locations bears witness. Canada's [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] population has been increasingly urbanized, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Saskatoon, where the First Nations population increased by 382% from 1981 to 2001;<ref name=statscan1>[http://www.statcan.ca/bsolc/english/bsolc?catno=89-613-MIE2005008 Aboriginal Conditions in Census Metropolitan Areas, 1981–2001] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070703003539/http://www.statcan.ca/bsolc/english/bsolc?catno=89-613-MIE2005008 |date=July 3, 2007 }}, Statistics Canada, {{ISBN|0-662-40884-5}}, Table 1.</ref> however, a portion of this increase, possibly as much as half, is believed to be due to more people identifying themselves as Indigenous in the census rather than migration or birth rate.

Saskatoon has the second highest percentage of Indigenous population among major Canadian cities at approximately 11.5%,<ref name="2021censusB"/> behind [[Winnipeg]] at 12.4%<ref name="2021CityCensus">{{Cite web |last=Government of Canada |first=Statistics Canada |date=2022-10-26 |title= Census Profile, 2021 Census of Population Winnipeg, City (CY) Manitoba [Census subdivision] |url=https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&SearchText=Winnipeg&DGUIDlist=2021A00054611040&GENDERlist=1,2,3&STATISTIClist=1&HEADERlist=0 |access-date=2023-01-09 |website=www12.statcan.gc.ca}}</ref> and [[Regina, Saskatchewan|Regina]] close by with 10.4%;<ref name="2021censusRegina">{{Cite web |last=Government of Canada |first=Statistics Canada |date=2022-10-26 |title= Census Profile, 2021 Census of Population Regina, City (CY) Saskatchewan [Census subdivision] |url=https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&GENDERlist=1,2,3&STATISTIClist=1&HEADERlist=0&DGUIDlist=2021A00054706027&SearchText=regina |access-date=2023-01-09 |website=www12.statcan.gc.ca}}</ref> in certain neighbourhoods such as [[Pleasant Hill, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan|Pleasant Hill]], this percentage exceeds 40%.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/csj-sjc/crime/rr06_6/p7.html|title= Exploring the Link between Crime and Socio-Economic Status in Ottawa and Saskatoon: A Small-Area Geographical Analysis|author=<!--Not stated--> |website= www.justice.gc.ca|date= March 30, 2007|publisher= Department of Justice|access-date= 22 March 2021}}</ref> Most First Nations residents are of [[Cree]] or [[Sioux|Dakota]] cultural background although to a lesser extent [[Saulteaux]], [[Assiniboine people|Assiniboine]], and [[Dene]] communities also exist.

Saskatoon also has a substantial [[Métis people (Canada)|Métis]] population and is close to the historically significant [[Southbranch Settlement]]s to the north, as well as the Prairie Ronde settlement near [[Dundurn, Saskatchewan]].
