Cypress Hills Massacre

Curated by ACT

The Cypress Hills Massacre occurred in the wake of the absence of legal authority in Western Canada after the Hudson's Bay Company presence declined. The murder of thirty Assiniboine Indians by American wolf hunters helped establish the North West Mounted Police in 1873 to police the region and eliminate the illegal whiskey trade. This website details the Cypress Hills Massacre.
