	Batoche - Welcome to Saskatchewan, Canada on The Worldwide Traveler
		Batoche is 11 km north of this junction.

		Later at Batoche, the Métis fought bravely for several days but in the end were defeated, outmatched by the government forces' superior numbers and weaponry.

	Battle of Batoche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fought over the week of May 5 to May 12 at the ad hoc Métis capital of Batoche, the siege was noted as the first true demonstration of tactical excellence and professional conduct by the Canadian army in 1885.
		However, due to the difficulty of the terrain and Middleton's penchant for prudence, his force lagged behind schedule, and when the Northcote appeared adjacent to the town on May 9 it was spotted by Métis who had not yet come under artillery fire.
		Straubenzie's soldiers performed brilliantly, charging into Batoche in the face of heavy fire and driving the remaining Métis clear of the town.

	`The Free People - Otipemisiwak': Batoche, Saskatchewan 1870-1930. by Gerhard J Ens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		This analysis, however, seems to contradict her general thesis because it leads her to conclude that, by 1910, the Métis of the Batoche area were losing their identity.
		Payment admits that by 1925 the Métis of the Batoche region existed as a class of poor people on the fringes of European society, but given her emphasis on continuity, and the paucity of evidence and analysis of the period after 1900, the reader is at a loss to explain or understand this result.
		Payment demonstrates that Batoche survived as a vital Métis community until the turn of the century, but the disintegration of its Métis identity and economy after this point raises the question of whether the concept of continuity is appropriate to the study of the western Métis to 1930.

	ICT [2003/09/11] M￩tis remember historic battle
		Batoche was the site of a four-day battle in May 1885 when an under-equipped militia, numbering no more than 300, fought an army regiment about triple in size that was moved in by Ottawa to protect federal interests such as the extension of the national railroad.
		Huddled around the grave, marked by nine wooden crosses and a picket fence that show their century-old age, dignitaries from the M￩tis community paid their respect stating the importance of always remembering these men, this battle and above all, never to forget what it is to be a M￩tis.
		For as rare as the loss of lives were in a politically domestic Canadian dispute, the historical significance of Batoche has slipped under the radar screen within the education system.

	CHAPTER XIV, BATOCHE CAPTURED
		But the capture of Batoche nipped all this in the bud; and having now disposed of Riel, the General had only to gather in the insurgent Indian tribes farther west, to bring the campaign to a close.

		Riel decamped so suddenly before the rapid and determined onslaught of the troops at Batoche that he left behind him all his papers and documents, with the official record of his provisional government, containing all the evidence necessary to enable the Ottawa authorities to prosecute those implicated with him in the rebellion.

		The trail by which we had approached Batoche from the east, made a turn and came up parallel to the bank of the river, for half a mile, and only a few yards from the edge of the valley to the church.
		The enemy were on two sides of us; in front of us, in their rifle-pits, and on our left, covered by the protection of the river bank, and the shelter afforded by the bush in the gully.
		The General, with the utmost composure, took no notice of it, but went on with his shaving, though the incident was sufficiently exciting to make most men give themselves a gash or dispense with the ceremony on that occasion.
