General note:

The Battle of Cut Knife was fought on May 2, 1885. It occurred when a small force of Cree and Assiniboine were attacked by 325 troops composed of North-West Mounted Police, "B" Battery, "C" Company, Foot Guards, Queen's Own and the Battleford Rifles led by Lt. Col. W.D. Otter. The Cree and Assiniboine defeated the Canadian forces, with losses on both sides.
The North-West Rebellion (or North-West Resistance) was a five-month insurgency against the Canadian government, fought mainly by the Métis and their First Nations allies.
