NORTH WEST REBELLION
BATTLEFORD
L'INSURRECTION DU NORD-OUEST

Between 28 March and 24 April 1885 almost 600 people- most of the
white and Métis population of the area- took refuge in the North-West
Mounted Police post here in anticipation of a general Indian uprising in
support of Riel. Although the fort was never attacked, there was some
looting of the townsite until the post was relieved by the arrival of Lt.
Col. W.D. Otter's troops. Following the defeat of Riel at Batoche the
Cree and Assiniboine bands led by Poundmaker surrendered to
General Middleton here on 26 May 1885.

Du 28 Mars au 24 avril 1885, ce poste de la Police à cheval du Nord
-Ouest reçut près de 600 réfugiés, soit presque toute la population
blanche et métisse de la région qui craignait un soulèvement géneral des
Indiens. Le fort ne fut jamais attaqué, mais la ville subit quelques pillages
avant l'arrivée des troupes du Lieutenant-Colonel W.D. Otter. Après la
défaite de Riel à Batoche, les Cris et les Assiniboines menés par
Poundmaker se rendirent au général Middleton ici même le 26 mai
1885.
