Once the Cree and their allies dominated the western fur trade. Sustained by the buffalo. By 1885, their decline meant disaster and starvation. Betrayed by Ottawa, who offered peace and food for land, the Cree would make a valiant last stand to save their people's future.

    This narrator is impressive. He has a strong stage presence and delivery.

    The migrating herds of buffalo also kept the grasslands from becoming deserts, which they're close to now.

    If anybody is interested, there is a movie loosely based on the events of Rogers' Raid on St Francis. It's Northwest Passage with Spencer Tracy as Rogers.

    Wait; I learned that Poundmaker tried to prevent the sacking and seige at Battleford due to seeing open conflict as a needless waste of life, but the other bands disagreed and layed siege anyways due to hunger.

    Canadas' current Army could use some integration of native American customs.

    i love talking to Blackfoot who hate cree more than anything. it's just funny how people don't get that the "Indians" aren't all friends, and somehow we put them in one basket. lol

    MacDonald was the first Prime Minister of Canada, so made everyone upset. Sometimes, the best settlement is when both parties are upset. Fortunately, he was married to a wonderful Metis woman Jane Klyne. Many of the Great Founding Fathers of Canada were married to Metis, spoke their language, and understood their customs.

    Kinda odd but my ancestry on my father's side is Acadian and Cree.. A rare case I guess?
  • @sambowz9077
    When are you going to do a show on Chief Running board and Ruffled feathers of the Go Go Gopher tribe?
  • @martaholmes4287
    Yes, tribes did fight each other. It's too bad they couldn't put their differences aside and force the Europeans from the continent. They just had no idea of the tsunami of wyte settlers they would be encountering. European/wyte man's strategy: Divide and conquer. It still works today.
