17 - Disaster at Red River Colony

from catching frogs - finding my Cree and Metis ancestry · host Wendi Stewart

The North West Company was at war with the Hudson's Bay Company and were determined to destroy the Red River Colony in 1816. The history books place the responsibility for the destruction on the shoulders of the Metis, but according to Colin Robertson and James Bird and the accounts they share of the Seven Oaks Massacre, blame in truth lies solely with the North West Company.
