Annie Bremner), Louis Napoleon Jobin (m. Olive Dumas), Patrice Jobin, Pierre Jobin (m. Sarah McMillan) and finally Joseph Falcon Jobin (m. Henriette Bremner) who was the Captain of the Turtleford Metis. The 1885 North-West Resistance included Metis and other indigenous peoples (Cree, Kainai, Piikani, Saulteaux and Siksika) and was in response to broken treaties, starvation and encroachment on their lands by new settlers in what are now Saskatchewan and Alberta. The resistance fighters were defeated and Canada’s federal government asserted its control over the area.
