This is a series of photos and words about some of Nimosom (Grandfather) Pitikwahanapiwiyin's / "Chief Poundmaker's".. life, with a mini-biography.. and some accounts of his Peacemaking. *There is now a longer and more comprehensive video in this channel.
-----------------------------------------
Grandfather Chief Pitikwahanapiwiyin (Chief Poundmaker), was a Cree Chief was born 1842 in central SK; and died July 4th 1886.., in Blackfoot Crossing, Alberta. Remembered as a great Leader, Chief Pitikwahanapiwiyin strove to protect the interests of his people during the negotiation of Treaty 6. Considered a Peacemaker, he did not take up arms in the North-West Rebellion (also known as the North-West Resistance). However, a young and militant faction of his band did participate in the conflict, resulting in Pitikwahanapiwiyin’s arrest and imprisonment for treason. His legacy as a peacemaker lives on among many Cree peoples, no one less than those of the Poundmaker Cree Nation, in Saskatchewan.
