A photograph of Metis positions on the Fish Creek battleground, likely taken shortly after the battle by a Canadian Army photographer. Presumably the Metis soldiers were positioned in the wooded area of the coulee visible ahead in the photograph. This may be the opening scene of the battle where Middleton's Scouts were met by an opening fusilade from the Metis ranks. The farmhouse visible on the right is possibly Tourond's house, for whose family the place takes its Metis name of "Tourond's Coulee."
