In Northern Saskatchewan, yes. Very much so.

Even in the rest of the province, it's pretty bad. Saskatchewan has the highest rates of domestic violence, child abuse and intravenous drug use in the entire country. There is an extremely unfortunate overlap with the fact the province also has the highest Native population in the country. You can draw your own conclusions from that.

Poverty and institutional racism stretching back generations?

You are absolutely correct and when people talk about how genocide is still ongoing stuff like this is what they mean.

Sounds like it. Google says that Saskatchewan has the highest crime rate in Canada, if that means anything in context.
