	Grant, Cuthbert
		Grant, Cuthbert, fur trader, Métis leader, captain of the Métis at SEVEN OAKS (b at Fort de la Rivière Tremblante [Sask] c 1793; d at White Horse Plains [St-François-Xavier, Man] 15 July 1854).
		Grant, his reputation tarnished by the events at Seven Oaks, overshadowed in history by RIEL, has not been given due credit for his leadership of the MÉTIS.
		Grant was a founder of the Métis Nation, but ironically, it was a younger generation of Métis nationalists who, by defying his attempts to uphold the HBC monopoly at the Sayer trial in 1849, brought his career as warden and sheriff of ASSINIBOIA to an end.
