Batoche: Conny Kaldor
The Battle of Batoche was the decisive battle of Canada's North-West Rebellion, pitting Canadian forces against indigenous and Métis people under Louis Riel. Fought from May 9 - 12, 1885, at Batoche, the greater numbers and superior firepower of the Canadians defeated the rebels. Riel surrendered on May 15, Cree Chief Poundmaker on May 26. The song Batoche, by Connie Kaldor, tells the story through the eyes of Gabriel Dumont, Riel's general.
North-West Rebellion
The '''North-West Rebellion''' ( or the '''North-West Resistance''', '''Saskatchewan Rebellion''', '''Northwest Uprising''', or '''Second Riel Rebellion''' ) of 1885 was a brief and unsuccessful uprising by the Métis people under Louis Riel and an associated uprising by First Nations Cree and Assiniboine of the District of Saskatchewan against the government of Canada. The Métis believed that Canada had failed to protect their rights, their land and their survival as a distinct people. Riel had been invited to lead the movement but he turned it into a military action with a heavily religious tone, thereby alienating the Catholic clergy, the whites, most of the Indians and some of the Métis. He had a force of a couple hundred Métis and a smaller number of other Aboriginal people at Batoche in May 1885, confronting 900 government troops. Despite some notable early victories at Duck Lake, Fish Creek and Cut Knife, the rebellion ended when the Métis were defeated at the Siege of Batoche. The remaining Aboriginal allies scattered. Riel was captured and put on trial. He was convicted of treason and despite many pleas across Canada for amnesty, he was hanged. Riel became a heroic martyr to Francophone Canada, and ethnic tensions escalated into a major national division that was never resolved. Thanks to the key role that the Canadian Pacific Railway played in transporting troops, Conservative political support for it increased and Parliament authorized funds to complete the country's first transcontinental railway. Although only a few hundred people were directly affected in Saskatchewan, the long-term result was that the Prairie Provinces would be controlled by English speakers, not French. A much more important long-term impact was the bitter alienation French speakers across Canada showed, and anger against the repression of their countrymen.

Batoche unveils new exhibit to tell larger Métis story
In a valley just metres from the South Saskatchewan River at the Batoche National Historic Site sits a newly minted modern wood and steel exhibit.
With sweeping views of the river, the recently constructed observation viewing platform and family garden are inscribed with plaques, graphics and information telling the story of the East Village site, which was the commercial sector of the region.
Working alongside a management board staffed with Métis people, Parks Canada was eager to expand on the deeper teachings of the Métis people who once thrived in the area and that many call home.
Louis Riel & the Battle of Batoche
The dream of a Métis State in the Prairies ended on May 12, 1885 at the Battle of Batoche in Saskatchewan, Canada. Louis Riel had petitioned Ottawa for land rights and better conditions for the native population who were dying of starvation. When the petition was denied Riel established a provisional government and an army was sent to quell the insurrection – a decision that had devastating consequences for those involved.
