Battle of Cut Knife – Cree Resistance (May 2, 1885)
On May 2, 1885, Cree and Assiniboine fighters led by Chief Poundmaker repelled government forces at Cut Knife Hill (Saskatchewan). Despite superior numbers, the militia retreated after six hours of fighting — one of the rebellion’s few Indigenous tactical successes. 🇨🇦 #NorthWestRebellion #CutKnife #Poundmaker #Canada #Colonization
