Li Exŏuīle © 12/2012 Jean-Louis (1882–1908) and Marie-Angélique Riel (1883–1896) ca. 1888–1889 “Children of Louis Riel, Métis spokesman and leader of the Northwest Rebellion. After his father’s execution in 1885, Jean took on his mother’s maiden name, Monet. Marie-Angélique died of tuberculosis.” Known Children of the Resistance and of the Occupation Based on Veterans and Families of the 1885 Resistance, 2009, by Lawrence Barkwell A List of Children of the Franco-Métis, Anglo-Métis, First Nations, and Whites, Patriots, Conscripts, Dominion Sympathizers, all involved in the 1885 Dominion Invasion of the North-West Territories and especially of the Stolen South Branch Lands Not including single men. ∞ In 1870 it had taken the Canadian army three months to get to Manitoba... but, by 1885, the CPR had reached into the plains - within ten days, the first troops had arrived, and within the month more than 5000 soldiers were in place. The army of invasion, NWMP, and the militia were under General Frederick Middleton. Within months all resistance to foreign rule had been obliterated. The Natives had been pacified and their leaders were captured and imprisoned. The Occupation of the Stolen South Branch lands had commenced immediately following the Fall of Batoché. Continued conflict resulted in an Indian War initiated by the NWMP against the Plains and Woodland Cree and Assiniboine of the North-West Territories. The Patriots were labeled Rebels; the defense of their homes, a Rebellion; the imprisonment of their heroes, and hanging of Riel, called justice. The Dominion of Canada had come into existence! The land was cut up into squares and flooded with immigrants. The Métis and First Nations were classified and treated as second-class citizens, and their offspring's future was stolen by the generations and given to the foreign-born who had brought with them their language and culture - whilest Native Traditions were outlawed.

  • Who Was Louis Riel?
    Métis Nation of Ontario Who was Louis Riel? Louis, the first child of Louis Riel and Julie Lagimodière, was born on October 22, 1844 in St. Boniface, Manitoba. Louis spent his childhood on the east bank of the Red River, not far from St. Boniface. He grew up among the Métis and was extremely conscious of his identity. At the age of seven, he began his education, eventually studying at the school established in the settlement in 1854 by a Christian brother. With the aim of training priests for the young colony, in 1858, Bishop Tache sent him and two other boys, Daniel McDougall and Louis Schmidt to Montreal to continue their studies. Louis was admitted to the Collège de Montréal where he spent the next eight years studying Latin, Greek, French, English, philosophy and the sciences. Louis proved an excellent student, rising quickly to the top of his class. In January 1864, Louis was overwhelmed with grief by the death of his beloved father whom he had not seen since leaving Red River. A subsequent attitude change prompted his teachers to question Louis’ commitment to a religious vocation. A year later he left his residency at Collège de Montréal to become a day student. But after breaking the rules several times and repeatedly missing class, he was asked to leave both the college and convent. He left College and returned to the Red River in a world fraught with intense political activity and intense nationalism. Louis lived with his aunt, Lucia Riel, and managed to find employment in a law office.

  • Louis Riel (1844-1885): Biography
    Louis Riel (1844-1885): Biography Louis Riel, Métis leader and martyr, was born in St. Boniface, Red River Settlement (later Winnipeg, Manitoba) on October 22, 1844 to Jean- Louis Riel and Julie Lagimodière. He was the oldest of eleven children. In March 1882, he married Marguerite Monet dit Bellehumeur in Carrol, Montana Territory. The couple had two children: Jean (May 1882) and Angèlique (September 1883). After arguably the most politically explosive trial in Canadian history, he was executed for High Treason on November 16, 1885. Louis Riel led the Métis in two resistances during 1869-70 in Red River and in 1885 in the Saskatchewan District of the North-West Territories (present-day central Saskatchewan). Riel had leadership in his blood: his father Jean-Louis organized Métis hunters and traders to bring an end to the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC)’s fur trading monopoly. Guillaume Sayer and three other Métis had been charged with illegal trading. However, on May 17, 1849, the day of their trial, the senior Riel organized an armed group of Métis outside of the courthouse. While the traders were found guilty, the Métis were so intimidating that the HBC Magistrate who presided over the trial let Guillaume and the others go without imposing a fine. This event virtually ended the HBC’s monopoly trading monopoly in what is now Western Canada. Louis Riel did not at first want a life in politics. When he was fourteen, priests sent him and other intelligent Métis boys to Canada East (now Québec) to attend the collège de Montréal.

Abstract This dissertation analyses two of the Canadian state’s earliest military operations through the lens of personal and collective memory: The Red River conflict of 1869-70 and the Northwest Campaign of 1885. Both campaigns were directed by the Canadian state against primarily Métis and First Nations opponents. In each case, resistance to Canadian hegemony was centered on, though not exclusively led by, Métis leader Louis Riel. This project focuses on the various veteran communities that were created in the aftermath of these two events. On one side, there were the Canadian government soldiers who had served in the campaigns and were initially celebrated by English-Canadian society.

  • Big Bear, Was a Cree Chief Who Was Involved, Albeit Not by Choice, in the 1885 Resistance
    Mistahimaskwa (c1825-1888): Biography Mistahimaskwa, or Big Bear, was a Cree chief who was involved, albeit not by choice, in the 1885 Resistance. He is perhaps one of the most misunderstood figures in Canadian history. Little is known about his early years. He was born around 1825 near Jackfish Lake and Fort Carlton, which are now in present-day Saskatchewan. His heritage was Saulteaux through his father, Muckitoo or Black Powder, a minor chief of a mixed Cree- Saulteaux band and Plains Cree, through his mother, whose name is unknown. Although his father was Saulteaux and he could speak Saulteaux, Mistahimaskwa considered himself Cree. Mistahimaskwa was a traditional spiritual person. His Manitou spirit was the bear: in his youth he received a vision from the Bear Spirit – the Cree’s most powerful animal Manitou. His name, song, and power bundle were a result of the visitation. His power bundle consisted of a skinned-out bear’s paw with its claws intact, which was sewn onto a scarlet flannel. Mistahimaskwa believed that when he wore this power bundle around his neck nothing could harm him because the Bear Spirit’s power rested against his soul. First Nations Oral Tradition maintains that Mistahimaskwa wore this bundle during times of danger. The bundle gave him great courage. Near the end of his life he became a baptized Catholic. In his early years, Mistahimaskwa spent most of his time hunting bison. His mixed Cree-Saulteaux band traveled throughout the remaining bison hunting grounds of what are now Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Montana. In other parts of the year, his people camped in the woods of what are now north-central Alberta and Saskatchewan.

  • First Nations Involvement in the 1885 Resistance
    First Nations Involvement in the 1885 Resistance For decades, it was once assumed – in the popular imagination, and in history books and textbooks – that the Cree and the Métis had formed an alliance during the 1885 Resistance. This was the dominant view until the early 1980s when scholars such as John Tobias, Hugh Dempsey and Blair Stonechild, using Oral History as recounted to them by First Nations Elders, argued that the Cree and the Métis had two different strategies to deal with the federal government’s indifferent Aboriginal policy. They also argued that the Cree leadership consistently rebuffed any overtures from the Métis to make a formal alliance, and that any First Nations involvement that occurred during the 1885 Resistance was isolated and sporadic. In 1885, however, many Euro-Canadians were fearful that that all of Western Canada’s Aboriginal peoples were in a state of armed insurrection. Sensational newspaper accounts played upon these fears and offered harsh remedies to quell future discontent. For instance, on April 23, 1885, the editor of The Saskatchewan Herald, P.G. Laurie wrote: Untamed and untamable, they (the First Nations) turn on the hand that fed them. Providence has decreed their disappearance and that they should give place to another race. They have, in the wildest and most unprovoked manner, and with the basest treachery, begun a war of desolation such as has never been equaled in the history of Canada. Events from overseas coloured Canadians’ opinion of First Nations’ participation during the 1885 Resistance. At this time in history, Canada was part of the British Empire.
