North-West/Riel Resistance

Summary

In order to avoid the hostilities of the North-West/Riel Resistance, some members of the Little Pine band fled to the United States to avoid involvement in the violence. This led to the fracture of the Little Pine band.

Implications
Fear of government discipline and punishment for being associated with the Riel Resistance resulted in members of this band being forced to leave their territory, resulting in an undermining of social cohesion and support networks.
