The Canadian Northwest.
Here the first traders
from the Old World
intermarried with the lndians
of the plains and forests
to found a new race:
the Metis of Canada.
Here, for two centuries these
half-breed hunters and trappers
multiplied and prospered
a law unto themselves.
Then surveyors and homebuilders
pushed westward
bringing laws of land
and property
which threatened to end forever
the free ways of the wild trails.
ln 1885, resentful and confused,
the half-breeds,
under the leadership of Louis Riel,
revolted against the advance
of unwelcome law.
ln that hour, a handful
of hard riding men
in scarlet coats,
stood between Canada's destiny
and the rebellion that was being
kindled across the American border
in a little Montana school house.
Three cheers for
the red, white and blue.
Three cheers for the red,
white and blue.
Three cheers for the red,
white and blue.
Thy banners make tyranny tremble.
Three cheers for the red,
white and blue.
Three cheers for the red,
white and blue.
Three cheers for the red,
white and blue.
Thy banners make tyranny tremble.
Three cheers for the red,
white and blue.
Susie, you didn't sing
the last words.
l got scared, Mr. Riel.
He kind of looks like the big
bad robber in the picture books.
l'm going to let you all
- School dismissed!
- Bye, Mr. Riel!
Susie! Come here.
There's nothing to frighten you.
These are old friends from Canada.
Get the kid out!
Time is short.
-Run along. Don't imagine things.
-Alright. l'll sing good tomorrow.
You're not gonna be here tomorrow.
l got your message, Duroc.
Returning to Canada is death.
For some maybe, not for us.
15 years of exile
haven't changed you Corbeau.
Or you... l hope.
Canada change plenty. No more
she belong to the half-breed.
The law come on the old trails,
the surveyor tell us
where we got to live.
We send plenty letter to government.
She is too busy to listen.
Government take care of lndians,
take care of white settler.
Ain't nobody take care
of the half-breed people.
No half-breed gonna take
care of himself.
You gotta come back, and lead us.
-Against the Queen's soldiers?
-Yes.
-We tried that once.
-This time it will be different.
The lndians are in grand council.
More Black Feet and Cree
than anybody ever saw before.
They'll join us if l say so,
and fight.
l got Cree blood,
same as Big Bear.
-The lndian government...
-What? You and me,
and Duroc, we will be the government.
With the lndians,
we'll wipe the whites out
of Western Canada.
We'll set up a new government.
Batoche gonna be our capital.
Half-breeds coming there by hundreds
from the river and woods,...
-Yeah.
You know what happens
if we fail again?
We don't fail!
Corbeau's got something.
You've never seen a gun like that.
She squirt lead like a hurricane.
Trust Corbeau to know
the newest way of killing.
-My gun shoots 1000 slugs a minute.
-lmpossible.
the border.
-Blood.
-Put on the dunce cap.
-l go fight alone. Come on!
-No!
l will never let you lead my people.
You can be the saint
that leads them Louis.
All l want is the whiskey business.
And l'll get it.
Or you'll get no help
from the lndians.
l don't want no help
from a whiskey trader.
-You...!
-Corbeau!
Louis, if he don't get
the Cree and Black Feet
to fight those redcoats with us,
we go smash.
And the half-breeds,
