Description
Descendants of fur traders and Indians, the Métis mounted insurrections against the Canadian government in 1869-70 and 1885 led by the messianic Louis Riel. With passion and verve, Joseph Kinsey Howard, author of the bestselling Montana: High, Wide, and Handsome, narrates the tragic story of Riel, the Métis people, and their struggle for a homeland on the plains of the US-Canada border.

Excellent book. Provides a insight as to events that made Canada a two coast country and the basis of its relations with the US. It explains how the native and metis people were not easily brought into the dominion. The book essentially describes the final end of the fur trade.
