Notes


This study examines the Métis community of Batoche, Saskatchewan, from 1870 to 1939, a settlement that became home to many Métis families who moved west from Manitoba following the Red River Resistance. Focusing on Batoche as a functioning society, the book explores daily life, social organization, and cultural practice, with chapters addressing the community’s way of life, its relationship with the clergy, patterns of political activity between 1873 and 1910, the local economy, and ongoing land claims along the South Saskatchewan River.
