Chief Piapot, a great plains Chief who lived through the land grabbing 1870’s, was known on the plains as a fearless warrior, diplomat, shaman, cattle rustler and horse thief.

This novel offers an account of the trials and tribulations of the Assiniboine, Cree, Sioux, and Blackfoot plains indians. It is about the coming of the Northwest Mounted Police in 1874 to the Cypress Hills, the slaughter of buffalo so great it almost led to their extinction and the coming of the Canadian Pacific Railroad in 1881.

The book gives accounts of Chief Sitting Bull and his escape to Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan, Canada after he defeated the US army at the “Little Big Horn”. Also, it makes mention of the friendship of Sitting Bull, Chief Piapot and Superintendent James Morrow Walsh of the Northwest Mounted Police, who in 1874, built the fort in the Cypress
Hills which was named Fort Walsh.

This book does not pull any punches! It outlines Chief Piapot’s revenge against the wolf hunters and whiskey traders who were responsible for the “Cypress Hills Massacre”. Piapot also took on the railroad and the Northwest Mounted Police.

The author thanks the Government of Saskatchewan for their cooperation in making the portrait of Chief Piapot available. The cover portrait is one of several great paintings from the Edmund Morris Collection.

This Collection is the property of the Legislative Art Collection, Government of Saskatchewan and may be viewed by the public at the Assiniboine Gallery located in the Legislative Building, Regina.
