Poundmaker 1842-1886
Outstanding Cree Chief and spokesman, he sought better treaty terms for the bands of this area. During the 1885 Rebellion he repulsed Lt. Col. Otter's attack on his reserve at Cut Knife but exercised restraint upon his followers. Imprisoned as a rebel, he died in Alberta after his early release.
Chef important des Cris, Poundmaker négocia des traités à l'avantage de tribus de sa région. Au cours du soulèvement de 1885, il repoussa l'attaque par le It-col'el Otter, de la réserve de Cut Knife tout en contenant ses gens. Écroué comme insurgé, il mourut en Alberta peu après sa libération.
