«Feu, au nom du Père! Feu, au nom du Fils! Feu, au nom du Saint-Esprit!» C'est ainsi que Louis Riel, un crucifix à la main, entraîna ses compatriotes lors de la Rébellion du Nord-ouest, dont le point cumulatif fut la bataille de Batoche du 9 au 12 mai 1885. Sous la direction de Riel et de Grabriel Dumont, moins de 300 Métis et autochtones des Premières Nations firent face à 800 membres de la Force de campagne du Nord-Ouest sous la direction du major-général Frederick Middleton.
