Scope and content
This file contains documents (articles, newspaper clippings, bibliographies, etc.) pertaining to Big Bear, a Plains Cree Chief, who figured prominently during the decades of 1870-1890 in the Western Plains. He was said to be outspoken, fearless, and self-reliant. One article from Maclean's talks about the book Indian Fall: The Last Great Days of the Plains Cree and the Blackfoot Confederacy by D'Arcy Jenish, who argues that the preoccupation with Riel overshadowed many other injustices such that of the mass hanging of 8 Indigenous people on November 27, 1885 at Fort Battleford (Saskatchewan).
