It was fought in what was then the District of Saskatchewan of the Northwest Territories,[2] at what is now known as Steele Narrows, in Saskatchewan's Makwa Lake Provincial Park. Led by Major Sam Steele, a force of North-West Mounted Police, Alberta Mounted Rifles and Steele's Scouts (a body of mounted militia raised by Steele himself) caught up with and dispersed a band of Plains Cree warriors and their white and Métis hostages. Cree scouts made a determined stand with what was left of their ammunition, but the body of the Cree column, realizing the hopelessness of their situation, released their prisoners and fled. The Cree casualties were four dead and dozens wounded.[3] Wandering Spirit, the war chief leading the Cree military campaign, surrendered to authorities at Fort Pitt. Big Bear, the aging peacetime chief of this band of Cree, eluded capture until July 2. Maps
LegacyThe site of the battle was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1950.[4] In 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] The Battle of Loon Lake is commemorated today by interpretive signs placed by the Government of Saskatchewan and a plaque placed by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. The place is today known as 'Steele Narrows'. The Narrows between Makwa Lake and Sanderson Bay, in the Makwa Lake Provincial Park, was the site of the last engagement of the rebellion. Steele Narrows Provincial Historic Park conserves the lookout point of a Cree burial ground.[6][7] References1. ^{{Citation|publisher =Ryerson Press |isbn =|publication-place = Toronto|title = The war trail of Big Bear (p.207)|year = 1888 |url =http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/bibliography/1360/227.html |author = William Bleasdell Cameron|publication-date = 1926|id = }} {{coord|54|2|26|N|109|18|34|W|region:CA-SK_type:event|display=title}}{{Metis in Canada}}{{NHSC}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Loon Lake}}{{Battle-stub}}{{canada-hist-stub}}2. ^{{cite web| title =Canadian Plains Research Center Mapping Division| url =http://esask.uregina.ca/management/app/assets/img/enc2/PDF/51C276D2-1560-95DA-430F6CC3E32921701.pdf| date = | accessdate =13 Sep 2013 }} 3. ^{{cite web |title=The Canadian Encyclopedia (Steele Narrows Battle) |url=http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/articles/steele-narrows-battle |archive-url=https://archive.is/20131118094101/http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/articles/steele-narrows-battle |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2013-11-18 |date= |accessdate=2013-11-18 }} 4. ^{{DFHD|748|Steele Narrows|19 August 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web |title=Tourism agencies to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Northwest Resistance/Rebellion |work=Home/About Government/News Releases/June 2008 |publisher=Government of Saskatchewan |date=June 7, 2008 |url=http://www.gov.sk.ca/news?newsId=3ceddf25-86ef-4433-86ea-cfe3cc69472d |accessdate=2009-09-20 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091021102620/http://www.gov.sk.ca/news?newsId=3ceddf25-86ef-4433-86ea-cfe3cc69472d |archivedate=21 October 2009 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 6. ^{{cite web |title=Steele Narrows Provincial Park - Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport - |work=Brochure of the Northwest Rebellion |publisher=Government of Saskatchewan |url=http://www.tpcs.gov.sk.ca/SteeleNarrowsBrochure |format=pdf |accessdate=2009-09-20 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090627155520/http://www.tpcs.gov.sk.ca/SteeleNarrowsBrochure |archivedate=2009-06-27 |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web |title=Makwa |work=Sasl Biz community profiles |publisher=Enterprise Saskatchewan Government of Saskatchewan |url=http://www.saskbiz.ca/communityprofiles/CommunityProfile.Asp?CommunityID=598 |accessdate=2009-09-20 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080423232119/http://www.saskbiz.ca/communityprofiles/CommunityProfile.Asp?CommunityID=598 |archivedate=2008-04-23 |df= }} 3 : Conflicts in 1885|Battles of the North-West Rebellion|June 1885 events |
