Louis Riel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During June 1884, the Plains Cree leaders Big Bear and Poundmaker were independently formulating their complaints, and subsequently held meetings with Riel. |
 | | Riel formed a council called the Exovedate (a neologism meaning "those who have left the flock"), and sent representatives to court Poundmaker and Big Bear. |
 | | On March 21, Riel's emissaries demanded that Crozier surrender Fort Carlton, but this was refused. |
