Gabriel Dumont: War Leader Of The Metis: Buffalo hunter, Metis war leader and fugitive from prosecution after armed rebellion, Gabriel Dumont embodied the spirit of the West. He emerged as a leader of his people during their most difficult transition from nomadic followers of the buffalo to sedentary farmers among a growing population of eastern Canadian settlers.

The story of the great Metis general is told here within the sweeping drama of the changing tableau of the west:

Raised in the heyday of the mid-19th century buffalo hunts, Dumont becomes a crack shot and shows exceptional leadership at an early age

Both compassionate and decisive, Gabriel develops his skills as a negotiator, peacemaker and even field doctor and veterinarian in the waning days of the buffalo

With tireless resistance and brilliant military strategy, Dumont more than Louis Riel exacts a deadly toll on his eastern adversaries during the 1885 North-West Rebellion

Dignified in defeat, he continues fighting for both Riel and his people during his self-imposed exile in the U.S.
