battle at batoche,
After Duck Lake, there were several battles throughout April. Toward
the end of the month, Middleton and his troops headed toward Riel’s
headquarters in Batoche. Dumont led his militia to Fish Creek, south of
Batoche, where they ambushed Middleton’s troops, forcing them to retreat.
The retreat lasted only a few weeks. Middleton and some of his troops
headed for Batoche again in early May. The Métee and First Nations militia
of less than 300 men faced a government force of over 800. Seeing the
Métee were outnumbered, Dumont wanted to use surprise attacks in the
countryside, taking advantage of his knowledge of the land. Riel refused. He
believed that God was on their side and wanted them to fight against their
enemy at Batoche. Examine the chapter opener image again, which shows
the Battle of Batoche. What do the details tell you about the battle?
The battle began on May 9, 1885, with a three-day standoff. After a series
of failed attacks, a group of government troops decided to charge the Métee
front line. The Méteemilitia numbered only 50 to 60 men at this point. They
soon ran out of ammunition and had to retreat. On May 15, Riel surrendered.
He believed that a public trial might bring attention to the Métee’ struggle
against the government. Dumont and others escaped to the United States.
With the defeat at Batoche and Riel’s surrender, the Northwest Resistance
was over.,
