Cree warriors began attacking Canadian settlements on April 2. On April 15, they captured Fort Pitt from a detachment of North-West Mounted Police. BackgroundIn the Canadian North-West, a period of escalating unrest immediately preceded the rebellion as Ottawa refused to negotiate with its disaffected citizens. While the Métis under Louis Riel declared a provisional government and mobilized their forces, Cree chief Big Bear was not planning any militarization or violence toward the Canadian settlers or government. Rather, he had tried to unify the Cree into a political confederacy powerful enough to oppose the marginalization of native people in Canadian society and renegotiate unjust land treaties imposed on Saskatchewan natives in the 1860s. This nominally peaceful disposition was shattered in late March by news of the Métis victory over government forces at Duck Lake. Support for Riel was strong among native peoples. On April 2, Big Bear's warriors attacked the town of Frog Lake, killing nine civilians. Big Bear, against his wishes, was drawn into the rebellion. Similar attacks continued, with Cree raiding parties pillaging the towns of Lac La Biche[3] Saddle Lake, Beaverhill Lake, Bear Hills, Lac St. Anne and Green Lake.[4] These events prompted the mobilization of an Alberta field force under Thomas Bland Strange. The Cree would later defeat the Albertans at the Battle of Frenchman's Butte. BattleOn April 15, 200 Cree warriors descended on Fort Pitt. They intercepted a police scouting party, killing a constable, wounding another, and captured a third. Surrounded and outnumbered, garrison commander Francis Dickens (son of famed novelist Charles Dickens) capitulated and agreed to negotiate with the attackers. Big Bear released the remaining police officers but kept the townspeople as hostages and destroyed the fort. Six days later, Inspector Dickens and his men reached safety at Battleford.[1][2] LegacyIn the spring of 2008, Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Christine Tell proclaimed in Duck lake, that "the 125th commemoration, in 2010, of the 1885 Northwest Resistance is an excellent opportunity to tell the story of the prairie Métis and First Nations peoples' struggle with Government forces and how it has shaped Canada today."[5] Fort Pitt, the scene of the Battle of Fort Pitt, is a Provincial Park and National Historic site where a National Historic Sites and Monuments plaque designates where Treaty six was signed.[6][7][8]References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Citation|publisher =Ryerson Press |isbn =|publication-place = Toronto|title = The war trail of Big Bear (The Fall of Fort Pitt)|year = 1888 |url =http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/bibliography/1360/129.html|author = William Bleasdell Cameron|publication-date = 1926|id = }} {{coord|53.65018|N|109.75154|W|type:event|display=title}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Fort Pitt}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url = http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/newspapers/IWN/1885/05/02/7/Ar00701.html|title = The Illustrated War News, 02 May 1885, Page 7, Item Ar00701 |work = J.W.
