Cree Warriors Assault Frog Lake Village

April 2nd, 1885 140 years ago

A group of Canadian Cree warriors attacked Frog Lake, claiming the lives of nine individuals. This incident stemmed from rising tensions related to land rights and treaty violations, exacerbated by the expansion of European settlers. Frog Lake, located in what is now Saskatchewan, became a flashpoint as Indigenous peoples faced increasing pressures on their traditional lands, leading to violent confrontations between them and settlers.
