Poundmaker: Peacekeeping Warrior of the Cree

Poundmaker was a Chief of the Plains Cree, a peacekeeping warrior who fought and defeated the Canadian government at the Battle of Cut Horse Creek.  He shouldered the impossible task of preventing bloodshed, of calming the young warriors of the tribes and negotiating with an expansionist government that despised him.  His story is one of the great tragedies of Canadian history.
