- 1. The 1885 North-West Resistance by the Metis and the Cree, Kainai, Piikani, Saulteaux and Siksika peoples took place against a backdrop of starvation, broken treaties and encroachment by new settlers in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The resistance fighters eventually lost and Canada’s federal government asserted its control over the area. The following Metis Laviolettes (or their spouses) were involved in the Resistance: Charles Laviolette (m. Marie Arcand), Justine Laviolette (m. Louis Schmidt) and Marie Apolline Laviolette (m. Alcide Legare). [Source: Veterans and Families of the 1885 Northwest Resistance, Lawrence Barkwell, Louis Riel Institute]. See External Links below for more information.
