EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a significant moment in Canadian history - the Riel Rebellion of 1885. The image depicts wounded men being carried from a fierce battle with insurgents at Fish Creek, during this historic revolt led by Louis Riel. The scene is filled with intensity and emotion as soldiers, both indigenous and non-indigenous, work together to transport their injured comrades on stretchers through the battlefield. This powerful illustration not only showcases the bravery and resilience of these individuals but also highlights the complex dynamics between different groups involved in this conflict. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life, capturing the traditional attire worn by Native American warriors who fought alongside Canadian troops against the rebellion. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that played a role in shaping Canada's military history. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are transported back to an era where tensions ran high and battles were fought for justice and rights. It stands as a testament to the struggles faced by both sides during this uprising while shedding light on an important chapter in North America's past
