The North-West Rebellion of 1885 was the outcome of grievances among Aboriginal peoples, the Métis and European settlers. On May 2, 1885, government troops confronted the Cree and the Assiniboine near Cut Knife Creek. The Aboriginal forces had the advantages of terrain and cover and the government troops retreated. By June 4, the rebellion was over.
