After this point, title to the land began to be sought in earnest by those hoping to conceive their own visions of community. With the signing of a treaty at Fort Qu'Appelle in 1874, the people and lands around the future Yorkton became part of Treaty 4 Territory. The advancement of European and eastern Canadian exploration and settlement greatly altered these migratory lifestyles, compelling some leaders of the region's First Nations groups to seek treaties with the Crown via the newly-formed Dominion (federal) government. Yorkton's locality within the semi-sheltered Aspen Parkland ecoregion would have provided an adequate blend of protection from the elements with the open spaces vital to nomadic hunting culture. The migratory way of life of these Indigenous groups meant there were no permanent settlements in the manner that one might envision today as “townsites”, but the terrain was an area of frequent visitation and longer-term habitation over millennia.

Both the Whitesand River and the Little Whitesand River/Yorkton Creek (tributaries of the Assiniboine River and located just to the north of present-day Yorkton) have shown archaeological evidence of encampment sites and hunting activity. The Yorkton region has long been inhabited by Nêhiyawak (Plains Cree) and later, Nahkawininiwak (Saulteaux) populations. From pre-settlement to today, there is a lot to learn about Yorkton's past.
