One Great 150 - Elzéar Goulet

In episode three of our One Great 150 series, we cover the Red River Resistance by following the path of Elzéar Goulet, a mail carrier who became a leader in Louis Riel's Métis armed forces and, ultimately, was one of six men who decided the fate of Thomas Scott. Though Goulet was a player in many of the key moments of the resistance, the most lasting impact of his story may have been the tragedies that followed in the wake of his death. Thank you to Jean Teillet, author of The North-West is Our Mother, for her help in this episode. Her full interview can be found on our Patreon page.
