--
In 1885, following the hanging of his friend Louis Riel, Metis Resistance leader and bison hunter Gabriel Dumont fled to the United States. There he was recruited by the legendary Buffalo Bill, founder of Buffalo Bill's Wild West , a gigantic outdoor travelling show that re-enacted life in the American West. Dumont dreamed of putting together a similar show to tell the story of the struggle of the Metis to reclaim their rights.
The creative team behind Gabriel Dumont's Wild West Show - including ten authors, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, French- and English-speaking men and women - brings Dumont's dream to life in a captivating, joyously anachronistic saga with a rodeo vibe.
Co-published with Prise de parole (Sudbury), the work consists of two versions, one predominantly in English and the other predominantly in French.
