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 short article on the ongoing Northwest Resistance and some biographical information and a sketch of Louis Riel from the perspective of an Eastern Canadian Newspaper. Includes a large sketch of Louis Riel "in his costume of a Canadian half-breed."
The individual in the photograph is on guard duty at a sentry post at Prince Albert, NWT, 1885. A few possibilities exist for what this photograph represents. It appears to be a Northwest Mounted Police man (note the pith helmet), or less likely, a member of the Prince Albert Volunteers, or the Prince Albert Home Guard taken during the "siege" of Prince Albert.
