Gabriel Dumont
Gabriel Dumont was born in 1837 to mixed parentage. Dumont lived the way of the Métis, moving throughout the west and hunting buffalo. When he became head of the buffalo hunt, the buffalo herds were dwindling. Dumont called upon Louis Riel to speak on behalf of the Métis. After being ignored by the federal government, the Métis took up arms and were eventually defeated. Dumont fled to the United States where he became part of the Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. In 1893, Gabriel returned to Batoche and died in 1906.
