by Tom Brodbeck

This riveting account of the links between the Red River Resistance and the numbered treaties explores a largely unknown part of Canadian history.

An engaging, informative and essential account of how the Red River Resistance and the making of the numbered treaties are intrinsically linked. Through evocative details, journalist Tom Brodbeck brings to life pivotal events such as an armed insurrection; outdoor meetings held -29 C weather; a three-person delegation of negotiators from a remote community in Rupert's Land going toe-to-toe with Canada's most powerful politicians and First Nations chiefs negotiating their place in Canada under a dark cloud of presumed white, European superiority.
