Ben eventually discovers that a confrontation between the North-West Mounted Police and the Natives, led by Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont, is imminent. As events unfold, Ben and Red Eagle witness the struggles of the Metis and Cree for recognition and the failed efforts to negotiate a settlement that ultimately lead to tragedy and war.

Native American Studies. Louis Riel arrives at Batoche in 1884 to help the Metis fight for their lands and discovers that the rebellious outsider Josette Lavoie is a granddaughter of the famous chief Big Bear, whom he needs as an ally. But Josette learns of Riel's hidden agenda -- to establish a separate state with his new church at its head -- and refuses to help him. Only when the great Gabriel Dumont promises her that he will not let Riel fail does she agree to join the cause. In this raw wilderness on the brink of change, the lives of seven unforgettable characters converge, each one with secrets: Louis Riel and his tortured wife Marguerite; a duplicitous Catholic priest; Gabriel Dumont and his dying wife Madeleine; a Hudson's Bay Company spy; and the enigmatic Josette Lavoie. As the Dominion Army marches on Batoche, Josette and Gabriel must manage Riel's escalating religious fanaticism and a growing attraction to each other. SONG OF BATOCHE is a timeless story that traces the borderlines of faith and reason, obsession and madness, betrayal and love.

Download or read book Batoche written by Kim Morrissey and published by Regina : Coteau. This book was released on 1989 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Batoche is a collection of poems by Kim Morrissey which deal with the events leading up to and surrounding the Northwest Rebellion of 1885. Kim Morrissey presents the basic facts of several well documented historical events - the Duck Lake Massacre (March 26, 1885), the skirmish at Fish Creek (April 24, 1885) and the battle at Batoche (May 9-12, 1885) which comprise the Northwest Rebellion. However, the author assumes a different perspective in retelling the story of the Metis uprising. Morrissey interprets the events through the eyes of some of their participants. Some of the characters are well-known such as Louis Riel, Gabriel Dumont and General Middleton. Others are the lesser known or the often forgotten participants of this intriguing period of history. One such individual is Marguerite Riel (Louis' wife who is usually overlooked by the history books), who is left sick and alone with two small children to raise following the hanging of her husband. From the words of an anonymous soldier in Middleton's force writing a letter to his family in eastern Canada, to an interpretation of the events through the eyes of one of Riel's children to the aftermath of the rebellion on the Batoche settlement, Batoche goes beyond the bare historical facts. Kim Morrissey has reconstructed history taking into account all the hopes and dreams of a people and the rumours and prejudices of an era.

Download or read book Sam Steele and the Northwest Rebellion written by Wayne F. Brown and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2013 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1885, it appeared that war was about to set the Canadian West aflame. Louis Riel had established a Metis provisional government at Batoche, and the Cree, led by war chief Wandering Spirit, had killed settlers, taken hostages and forced the capitulation of Fort Pitt. Among the forces marshalled to quell the unrest was an elite scouting unit of the Alberta Field Force, led by the charismatic Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police. Aggressive, tenacious and supremely confident, Steele was a seasoned policeman who had earned a reputation for getting the job done. Composed of North West Mounted Police, ex-militiamen and savvy cowboys from Calgary, Steele's Scouts relentlessly pursued the Cree warriors and their prisoners through the western Saskatchewan wilderness, acting as shock troops and often fighting at close quarters. The story of Sam Steele and his contingent is an unforgettable account of the campaign that marked the end of the Wild West on the Canadian prairies.
