North-West Rebellion

Years: 1885 - 1885

The North-West Rebellion (or North-West Resistance or the Saskatchewan Rebellion) of 1885 is a brief and unsuccessful rebellion by the Métis people of the District of Saskatchewan under Louis Riel against the Dominion of Canada, which they feel has failed to address their concerns for the survival of their people.

Despite some early victories at Duck Lake, Fish Creek and Cut Knife, it ultimately results in the complete destruction of all Métis and allied Aboriginal forces, the hanging of Louis Riel, and increased tensions between British Canada and French Canada.

"Not to know what happened before you were born is to be a child forever. For what is the time of a man except it be interwoven with that memory of ancient things of a superior age?"

― Marcus Tullius Cicero, Orator (46 BCE)
