Kinmount plus Metis Resistance

About this episode

This episode discusses the story of Kinmount and the evolution of Canada's interior, focusing on the Metis people's resistance and its historical implications.

This week, Kate the story of Kinmount. Existing just outside of Haliburton County, Kinmount is still often seen as an honorary member of the County. Plus, it's the wrap-up....the third episode of 3 episodes about the evolution of Canada's interior from a territory created by the early fur trade; the development of the Metis people with a presence in both the European and Indigenous communities; to the clash between a growing Canada and the entrenched Metis people. Tragically it meant resistance; executions; and a wound that in some ways still exists within Canada today. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices.
