Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont

Boyden, Joseph 1966- (Author).

Summary: Gabriel, a master hunter and speaker of indigenous languages, lived on and for land. Louis, university educated and deeply Catholic, never seemed fully comfortable in the wilderness and instead continually strove for a way to build his vision of a new church, a new society, in the wilds of the West. When these two powerful men came together in 1884 and 1885, a truly united Métis worldview emerged, one that John A. Macdonald quickly recognized as a threat to his vision of Canada.
