"The Battle of Batoche is a critical moment in Métis history. Here, the Métis people made their last stand against heavily armed Dominion forces.

For three days between May 9th and May 12th 1885, 250 Métis battled 916 Canadian Forces. 51 Métis were left dead, wounded or captured. 6 months later, the battle claimed one final victim – Louis Riel – who was hung after being convicted for High Treason.

Without a doubt, much of today’s social and political landscape is influenced by the aftermath of those three days in May." - http://www.learnmichif.com/culture/batoche
