Which probably explains why it was around to be mentioned in the Bible. How about that?

Another native NA (Cree maybe) derived name is Saskatoon...Saskatoon is not a large city, but it is important one for that province...It's just another cool sounding name for a city.

I think both Prague and Amsterdam were mentioned already..I like the names of both of those as well.
