Abstract

"Seat of the North-West resistance, was Batoche also witness to the Métis social and economic disintegration? Diane Paulette Payment studies the Métis communities along the South Saskatchewan River, in particular Batoche, between 1870 and 1930, and concludes that "the free people" pursued their activities and endeavored to control their own destiny."--Back cover.
