Description
Big Bear: The End of Freedom by Hugh A. Dempsey is a powerful account of resistance and tragedy in western Canada's history. In the late 19th century, Big Bear, a prominent Cree chief, fought to preserve his people's way of life against encroaching settlement. His efforts were met with hostility, and when violence erupted at Frog Lake, Big Bear was powerless to stop it. He stood trial for inciting rebellion, despite having sought only justice and freedom for his community. This book explores the complex events that led to this tragic outcome, shedding light on a pivotal moment in Canadian history. Through Big Bear's story, Dempsey sheds light on the struggles faced by Indigenous peoples in the face of colonialism and the devastating consequences that followed.
