People from Moose Woods Reserve

Note: The description of this document uses wording that was common to mainstream society of that time period in history. As such, it contains language that is no longer in common use and may offend some readers. This wording should not be construed to represent the views of the Indigenous Studies Portal or the University of Saskatchewan Library. A photograph and short amount of text taken from a 1935 newspaper article which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1885 Riel resistance. The photo is captioned "Whitecap, chief of the Sioux tribe, and his two squaws." The article celebrates the activity of the Governor-General's Body Guard who "captured Chief Whitecap before he and his braves could supplement Big Bear in the rebel forces." This is a one-sided version of history that has since been discredited.
