Journey back to 19th century Métis settler life on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River, one hour north of Saskatoon. A traditional way of life changed forever at the final battlefield of the Northwest Resistance of 1885. Batoche is the scene of Louis Riel’s last stand and a symbol of Métis resilience and cultural renewal.
