This is a story about the old territories of northwestern Canada
during the first days of the Mounted Police.
It was the year 1876. The body I had 3 years of life.
And in posts distributed from Edmonton to Fort Calgary
and Fort Macleod. From Battelford to Maple Creek and Fort Walsh.
We tried to impose the law and keep the peace in the thousands
of square miles of Indian territory.
It has been called "The Great lonely land. "A land
of meadows, lakes and mountains. A beautiful and peaceful land.
But in those days, It was a powder keg.
The wild tribes of the meadow and mountain
they prepared to face each other in a bloody war.
Avoiding it was our job.
We were only 300 men in the Mounted Police.
I, Duncan MacDonald, had enlisted in Toronto and requested
destination in the far west. I was sent to Fort Walsh,
near the border with Montana. We were prepared for the worst.
South of the border, the Sioux and the American cavalry, to whom
for their sabers, the Indians called "Long Knives", faced
in bloody skirmishes, and our bellicose tribes
Canadians were in turmoil.
I will narrate what happened during the mission that I did
with the Indians. I will tell you such and how it happened.
Except that when the Creeks speak they do it in our language.
Many miles south of Fort Walsh, the Eared Bear Creek tribe,
had illegally trespassed border delimitation for
hunt buffaloes in the U.S.
Erect Bear, great chief of the Creek, I was happy.
The shops of its people they were overflowing with red meat
And the hunger spent during the winter had forgotten.
But his joy does not It was going to last a lot.
- Who has done it? - The "Long Knives".
They were looking for siouxs. They do not know the difference between creeks and siouxs.
We will teach it to you.
Withdrawal! Withdrawal!
The Creek danced to mourn the deaths of their own.
To mourn his defeat.
Erect Bear and the Chiefs They were sad and restless.
Signs of danger.
From our friends, Assiniboines.
The "Long Knives" come. Soldiers on horseback
With rifles. We must go north.
Back to the land of the great white mother.
There are many buffalo here. There is good hunting.
Konah says that We have to fight.
We can not. The "Long Knives" They are more than needles and pines.
- We must go north. Fast. - To what? To die of hunger?
We have the right to hunt where we want
Are you going to let the "Knives" Long "condemn us to go hungry?
Konah says to fight.
You have a woman's heart.
Also you, Erect Bears. Konah has spoken.
Erect Bear is not afraid to fight and die.
There is no glory in escaping of the enemy.
But Erect Bear is the big boss of all his people.
Think of women and children that will be without a husband and without parents.
This is your duty.
We will not fight. We will go north. Bear Erect has spoken.
The hearts of the "Knives Long "feel love for their people.
Take your best warriors. Search to some whites and capture them.
If the "Long Knives" attack us before reaching the border
we will have the captives for change them for peace.
Listen Listen to Konah. We will make a whipping.
Konah wants warriors to accompany him.
- We are going. - We are going.
Quick, to hide everyone.
- Creeks. - Are you sure?
Even a fool with one eye I would recognize these dogs.
- If they find us, they'll kill us. - Do not be afraid, Little Face.
They are looking for white men.
That is a good place. With plenty of water.
We will build our cabin there.
Next, the stables.
- Dad, come back here! - No, Jim, do not go.
Stay where you are, Esmerald. Get in the cart.
- Dad, dad, dad! - Hide.
No. We want them alive. Throw arrows of fire.
The Creeks not stealing horses. Not stealing cattle.
Taking prisoners!
- Where are you going, Natayo, my husband? - To cross the border
to see new soldiers of Fort Walsh.
The misfortune that has happened to them to those ranchers
it can be good luck for us.
Will you come back with a second woman, my husband?
You forget that my father was a man White. It is not customary
white men take more than one wife
Do not worry. To me enough with wife like you, Little Face.
And good?
- I caught up with ... - Rest.
I caught the horse thief and I continued to the mountains.
On the morning of the third day ...
Hello, Natayo Smith. Now I'm busy.
I told you I'm busy. Come back later
- You have not heard me, Natayo? - Twice.
I'm not busy. Have ample time. Wait.
Go on, MacDonald.
On the morning of the third day, I saw my man stopping in a cabin.
- He still had the horse stolen? - Yes sir.
As I approached, he fired. A bullet wounded and knocked down my horse.
What fell on me, what gave the man opportunity to flee.
Leave the details for the report. How did you arrest him in the end?
- I did not do it. - It did not?
No sir. By the time I reached closest ranch
to buy another horse, my man I was nine hours ahead.
I figured that by the time I gave reach, I would have crossed the border.
- That calculated? - Yes sir.
What does the border have to do?
Well, sir. According to article 33 of the regulation,
the members of the body they can not enter the US UU
- So I followed the regulation? - Yes sir.
How long it takes in the body, MacDonald?
A year and a half, sir.
In office work in Toronto, is not it?
- Yes sir. - And you want to go back there?
- Oh, no, sir. I prefer this. - Then, show it.
Take off your head that this is the adventurous life of a gentleman.
It's something that they already explained when he took an oath.
You pay 75 cents a day for impose the law where there is none.
This has been his first mission. And he has not earned his pay.
- Yes sir. - Sit down and write the report.
Per quintuplicado.
That is Article 85.
What do you want from me, Natayo?
Is it so strange that man Do you ever visit a friend?
Oh, a friendly visit.
Tell me, how much will it cost? to His Majesty?
Something to be interesting for man maybe not interesting for friend.
Your information always It's interesting, Natayo.
Thanks for a good opinion and high esteem.
- A lot of snow in mountains. - Interesting.
- Now I come from the USA UU - I know.
Head of mounted soldiers to know a lot.
I appreciate your good opinion and high esteem.
And what have you seen in the USA? UU.?
I have seen many different Indians. Up to Erect Bear creeks.
Do you have news of the creeks?
My friend does find this interesting?
Speak clearly, Natayo. How much do you ask?
My rifle, it does not throw anything right. A lot of lead in the canyon.
- Very well. I will give you a new one. - Yes, but one soldier mounted.
That shoots many bullets.
Better that your news be good. Those rifles are very expensive.
Last winter, very cold. Two blankets from Hudson Bay.
Well, give me the information.
Then. Thinking of a woman, you need new cooking pot.
- A pan. - Coppermade.
- Coppermade. - Size for two buffalo tongues.
Okay, fine. Nothing more Natayo.
A rifle, two blankets and a copper pot
The Erect Bear Indians They have gone from your reservation.
We already knew it. We have been searching. That is all?
Calm your heart They fought with "American Long Knives"
in Red Rock Canyon. They were made bits ...
- How did you know? - Seven or eight creeks attacked
a cart of American settlers in Black River.
Take prisoners alive, two.
Prisoners alive? It's strange.
Hostages, probably.
- Me, Natayo, I've seen that. - In what direction did they go?
On the way to Assiniboine, to the north.
Will you give me a piece of paper for things you have promised me?
- Just a moment. MacDonald. - Yes sir.
How much did you learn from language Creek in the academy?
- I passed the course, sir. - Have you heard what Natayo said?
Yes sir.
I want you to free those prisoners and bring the Creeks to the reservation.
That will be your mission. Natayo
You know that way as the palm of your hand.
I want you to accompany MacDonald. Be your guide.
My plans look in other directions.
You will be paid very well.
No. Ask Natayo to sleep in nest of snakes.
Ask him to put his hand in the mouth of a bear.
Ask him to walk barefoot in blizzard
All that will do it. But go with this Soldier apprentice mounted, no.
I can not force you, Natayo.
Sir, one of our tasks It's the customs inspection, right?
Like mr. Smith just came from I know. UU., By simple routine,
Would not it be convenient to him register your bag?
Maybe yes, MacDonald. May be.
I'm surprised, mr. Smith A former police guide
know that alcohol is prohibited in these territories.
I came here running. it's possible forget when the head is full.
For bringing contraband alcohol to the northwest territories,
will have to pay a fine of one repeating rifle, two blankets
- From Hudson Bay ... - A copper pot.
And a copper pot.
Inspector Frazer's ingenuity is greater than Natayo's.
Also the soldier apprentice He has a fine ear.
- Now I'll leave here. - Wait, I'm not finished.
Besides the fine you'll have to cut and stack 20 logs.
But if you agree to accompany him in this mission, you will not cut wood.
And I will give you everything promised.
Cut 20 logs of wood It's like dying 20 times.
But going with this apprentice is like die more quickly.
- I will go. - All right.
But the riding boss knows that This mission is very, very dangerous.
Okay, I will not force you to go. MacDonald will go alone.
- Maybe, I could go if ... - Not one more thing, Natayo.
- You're well paid. - No, it's not for more things.
I talk about my life. Indian Creeks They hate Indian Black Feet.
As I am half Black Feet and half White man
They do not love me twice.
Maybe you give me a red coat what I put.
So Creeks will think well before to tear my hair.
This is a small fort. We do not have jackets to spare.
That is not red.
Oh, I feel better.
And the things that I have you promised?
- When you return. - What if I do not return?
- What if they kill me? - We will deliver them to your widow.
My widow ...
I need a flag too. As a real mounted soldier.
Take it Good luck, MacDonald.
Good luck to you both.
And so we started riding in the footsteps of
seven or eight Indian creeks and the two prisoners.
We found remains of many recognition games
and of wars, but we did not see a human being.
Natayo pointed out the footprints left by the moccasins and growled.
Sioux, Assiniboine, Black Feet, but no sign of the Creeks.
Natayo was a born schemer. But also a connoisseur
ground expert.
Few things got disconcert him
Until one day...
What's wrong?
I've known and traveled since I was a child this place like skin of my nose.
That's why I know that there has never been There was a lake.
But there is a lake.
I do not see any lake.
You have fine fox ears, but white man eyes.
Come here.
Observe
- It's a mirage. - Espej ...
Mirage. An illusion.
Come, get in here.
Now watch yourself.
It has disappeared.
Wait, Natayo.
You do not have to scare It's just a trick of nature.
Because of the heat and certain conditions
I've seen this myself, once or twice before.
They are the evil spirits and his evil power.
That lake exists somewhere. It is real. Like the trees.
But due to the heat, the rays of light are curved.
The sky becomes a great mirror
And we look there, but we see something that really is over there
You do not have to be afraid. It is just a phenomenon.
"Femรณnemo"?
- That's. - Who creates that "femรณnemo"?
Well ... God, or like you you say, Manitรบ.
That's what Natayo says, the bad guys spirits Let's move on.
No, Natayo. You have made a deal with Inspector Frazer.
Soldier Natayo ...!
At that point I was beginning to think that the group of Creeks
whom we were pursuing he had avoided us
But then... Still.
I will not point. Look where I say. Look at those bushes.
Men hidden there.
Do you see them?
- I do not see anyone. - Great bush on right.
- Do you see eagle feather tips? - No, I do not see them.
Wait here.
Creeks They are cautious like elk in thin ice.
They want to make sure we're not "Long" American knives.
Thanks to great spirit, We wear red coats.
If they are as you say they are, what we do here in the open sky?
Soldier mounted, do not move. Please do not say anything.
I will speak.
Oh, Creeks! Oh, famous fighters from the north!
Oh, dogs and dog eaters.
Listen to me, Natayo, the Black Cougar
I bring mounted soldier of the great white queen.
He comes as a friend, looking for the beautiful children of the queen mother.
The Creeks, do not hide of mounted soldier.
Natayo has spoken. Natayo, the Black Cougar.
I already told you they were there.
Something was wrong.
It was a much more group numerous than the one we were looking for.
There were more than eight. They did not come from far away.
They did not carry provisions. And there was no sign of the prisoners.
When we climbed the hill, and saw what that there was below, in the valley,
my heart sank in the despair
We had gotten into a mousetrap.
You told the inspector that they had annihilated the Erect Bear Creeks.
Natayo makes a big mistake.
Sometimes, when beaver cuts tree, tree falls and crushes beaver.
See the store with a warrior and beaver painted outside.
The warrior stands guard. mens Whites should be there.
Soon we will know. Perhaps put us with them.
Today I, Konah, chief of the war and the soldiers,
I will give a horse to a poor man.
The one of the mounted soldier who I bring prisoner with me.
I've heard of mounted soldiers. You are the first one I see.
- Speaks. - That you cut is courteous.
Bear Erect says to speak.
The great white queen she is furious.
Their children, the Creeks, have left your reservation.
We are a free people.
This is the land in which we were born and in which we have always hunted.
Go, mounted soldier. Take the mestizo and leaves the camp.
Leave, soldier, and do not Nothing issues.
My men will not follow you. Do not we want your hair
Run, soldier Mac! We are going.
Erect Bear, before I go I want to Hold a meeting with you.
There is no need for you and I speak. Go away.
You have led your people to the land of the "Long Knives".
Against the will of the great white mother.
Your warriors fought against them in the canyon.
And you have made another mistake. You have taken two prisoners.
The mounted soldier speaks with the tongue of a snake.
It is Erect Bears who speaks with false language.
I will deal with him.
Back off. I say to you that you leave.
- How much have we prayed! - We do not have time to talk.
I'm going to take them to the boss.
Do not say or do anything. Come with me.
Here is the proof that Erect Bear speak with false language.
The prisoners are from Konah.
What medicine has made the soldier knows of prisoners
and where were they from?
The soldiers of the white queen They have powerful medicine.
I ask you again to smoke the pipe of peace.
I'll think about it. I will consult with the bosses.
Konah, take them. They are still yours.
But that they do not suffer any harm.
Stay to wait our decision.
You can talk with the prisoners,
but do not give up the circle of the camp.
- Thank you. - Give them shelter.
Come.
Many years I have observed rabbits, Antelopes, men do stupid things.
But you, soldier, do the more stupid
You enter Creeks camp as an army
You call the big boss a liar in front of all his people.
You take prisoners out of your hands.
But the worst part is that you can go with whole hair, and you stay.
Why do you insist so much on dying?
Article 22, do you remember?
- There's the bear lurking. - Always sharp bear claw.
Go with him and prepare the store. I'm going to talk to the prisoners.
- Natayo wants to leave here. - Natayo will go with him.
Yes Yes Yes...
It's useless, Natayo. Mounted soldier has spoken.
That soldier ... You do not look like glad to see you.
- Jess. - Yes?
If it is a mounted soldier of the Queen, will be from the Canadian army.
- From the police. - What does it matter?
- Everyone represents the law. - Yes
- It is not true? - Yes.
I do not understand you.
I bring food. A little empanada.
Deer meat. It is not very Appetizing, but it fills the stomach.
Thank you. He is very rich.
Everything is very rich after to eat the slop of the Indians.
Jess says that you are an agent of the Canadian police.
Yes, I am from the Mounted Police from the northwest.
Not long ago it was founded the body and we are very few.
- Have you been to Canada? - No, I've never been to Canada.
But I've heard of his uniform.
Do you think that the boss Will you leave?
If you agree to smoke the pipe, It is very possible.
Very possible? Someone who speaks Well, he does not know the Indians.
- Do you have any other ideas? - Yes. Lend me that rifle you're carrying.
And, as soon as it gets dark, I'll take a couple of horses and I'll leave.
I would not even leave of the camp.
I prefer to die shooting to that torture those wild red skins.
I can not help but wonder What has come alone?
I did not come alone A guide accompanies me.
Do you think that everything you have to do to convince the Indians
Is going out there and talking to them?
I can not use more weapons that the word.
With an Indian? Listen to this warning by Jess Calhoun.
The only language that understands a Indian is a bullet in the body.
The Indians believe that this is the The only language of the white man.
Right now there are about a thousand Indians there willing to make us mute.
Thank you very much what is he doing for us?
Are they family? They are married?
Jess worked for my father. He joined us a month ago.
Where?
In Wyoming. Why?
For nothing concrete. Curiosity.
As soon as I'm ready, I'll bring them Stew and fresh pie.
Thank you.
We are on the edge of a precipice. Take that rifle out of your mind.
And control the nerves.
Check the nerves!
- I just did not understand you, Jess. - Nobody asked you.
As soon as you see the moment, I plan to leave.
Is everything alright?
Tell me, Natayo, that prisoner ... He claims not to have been to Canada.
But he knows everything about us and our rifles.
Have you seen him before?
- Yes, when they assaulted his cart. - No. Before that.
It's possible.
Did you see him or did you not see him?
Natayo is sure.
What did you see or not?
- Yes, I've seen him. - When? Where?
I will try to remember.
There will be another rifle for you if you remember.
That helps to remember much more.
That will always be pending Second bottle of rum from your bag.
That helps you remember yourself better. Maybe right away.
Now my head is full.
Oh, Manitรบ. Solve for your children this problem.
A mounted soldier has arrived up to us
Your medicine is powerful.
Your medicine has told you that we fight against the "Long Knives".
Your medicine has told you what we did two prisoners.
His medicine directed his steps to the store of the captives.
Should we offer you our sacred pipe?
Oh, show us your answer.
Natayo, how long do they last? The advices?
Indians never celebrate ceremony little. All must be great.
No, Natayo. We never raise the flag at night. Only during the day.
Good rule in camp of mounted soldier.
But in Indian camp flag up, day and night.
I agreed on that. But no I had the frankness to tell him.
The lack of events it made the wait harder.
We had to sit down in that hornet's nest.
And wait for the council of savages will make a decision.
And, then, I saw a child who looked at us
A small creek, with eyes innocent and clean look.
After so much hate and of so much tension
his presence was like a fresh and gentle breeze.
My second son is from his years.
Maybe I'll see him again.
Of course, Natayo. As soon as we finish this mission.
So never. On that the two parts of me agree.
Gift is exchanged for gift of same value. Old custom
Whistle made of eagle bone.
- What is your name? - Orphan.
- Black feet killed my family. - What a bunch of assassins!
Some have given me another name. "It's coming running."
- Is it coming running? - Yes
If there is food in someone's store, they always say "Comes Running".
But now there is not much food for nobody.
Come, eat with us.
As the soldier has my whistle eagle, and I have his metal one,
we are brothers.
We are brothers.
Natayo, serves food to our brother.
Now, everyone brother.
Thankfully, head I was not in a hat.
Everyone in the camp says: "What have you come riding soldier?"
To seek peace. For my people and the Creek village.
Everyone says that mounted soldier He is very brave to come here.
My friend Natayo is to blame.
When Creek praises, better close ears.
He will ask for things.
I, Comes Running, I am very brave. I know how to take care of the horses.
I know how to go hunting, ride and dance.
When Creek praises himself, watch out.
It will hang your teeth in his necklace.
The soldier has said that he is coming to seek peace.
When you have found it, it is custom that warriors
of a tribe, choose children in the other tribe.
That makes a strong peace.
It is a very sensible habit.
There you have what Natayo says. If you are not careful
will end up being a daddy orphaned creek.
You will see it.
Listen! Listen to all!
Shawaskis the Moose speaks. Look at the good horse he rides.
Konah has given it to him so that Speak to your people about your brother.
Konah has given Onechani Awaku to his brother for a wife.
Do you sit there eating with what is happening?
Someone is going to get married. We do not care.
Count to the mounted soldier what which means Onechani Awaku.
- Slave woman. - That's what we call the prisoner.
That is the one who is going to get married with her.
Shemawgun, brother of Konah.
Now Konah has taken out knife against you.
It's like throwing an arrow. It is a message of war.
It's true, mounted soldier. You will have many problems.
Come.
Erect Bear has the decision of the council of chiefs.
You have to leave here, and take you to the Black Feet with you.
Leave the camp and our hunting ground.
- And the prisoners? - They're prisoners of war.
They will stay. It is our law.
My people do not want to let you go. He wants your blood.
But I have mercy. Go as soon as possible.
Warriors will not chase you until the sun has crossed
half of the sky.
That was his answer. Strict.
I had done everything possible. And he had lost.
Despite Frazer, from me daring and everything else.
It was the final moment.
It seemed that the prisoner, that ferocious enemy of the Indians,
he was right. It was futile to try to dialogue.
The great boss had been very clear.
He had given us some how many hours of advantage.
We had to start thinking in our lives
before it was late.
Soldier mounted, I'm going with you.
I'm afraid it will not be possible, son.
The place of a son is to be next to his father.
Twice I have seen figures in the sky.
But I've never seen anything equal to this.
- Walk on water. - Is it a good or bad signal?
It's unknown to Custin. It must be a bad omen.
Does anyone know what it is?
The mounted soldier knows it.
It is the power of our great white queen.
Look at it well. They are the great waters of the east.
My people have built the big smoke canoe.
Feed your hunger with fire and walk on the waters.
The queen mother has more of these Monsters that the Creeks horses.
The smoke canoe walks through the prairies?
No, he only lives in the water.
But there are others who eat fire and walk on wheels.
Very soon they will arrive this land.
That is the power that has the great white queen.
It is the signal that says that advice has been wrong.
It warns you that you must listen to me.
Soldier mounted.
The power of your queen is very large.
We will hold a council.
Erect Bear has decided wisely
- When? - When the sun is at its highest.
- The council will be a good time. - For what?
To ask permission and become your son
Yes, I guess so. We'll see.
Let every man speak here according to your reason.
And according to your heart.
Go to the left. Cazoleta pointing boss.
That the mounted soldier Say what you want from us.
The heart of the great white queen It is full of pain.
Their children, the Creek village, they have disobeyed him.
They abandoned their reservation. They attacked the "Long Knives".
A group of warriors Creek captured two whites.
When there is no store left food, women get sick
and the children cry. What man, who Is it, do not you hunt where you want?
The "Long Knives" threw us from the land of the buffalo.
Now my hunters come back with snakes and coyotes.
That's what my people eat. The Creek village is starving.
For that reason, the Creek people You must return to your reservation.
The mounted soldier promises you do justice and keep the peace.
The mounted soldier promises you that justice will be the same for
all the children of the queen.
The same, for Indians and for whites.
He also promises you food.
When you leave, he will take care of send you a caravan
loaded with tea, flour, beans, meat and bacon.
This is the first order of the great queen.
The Creeks must return to your reservation.
And the second, that the prisoners Whites must be free and unharmed.
The marriage of Konah's brother with the white woman
- It must be prohibited. - Konah is going to talk.
I captured the prisoners. They belong to me.
It is the law of our people. If he Soldier takes them
will be breaking our law.
The law of the queen says that none one person will be the slave of another.
I promised my brother that he will have the white woman as his wife.
The marriage will be celebrated. The other Prisoner will be for the soldier.
But as the soldier is happen to steal the white woman ...
I will rip out his heart and hang his hair behind my tent.
- Konah has spoken. - No marriage will be celebrated.
The two prisoners they will be free from here.
- The mounted soldier has spoken. - The council will decide.
We agree in return to the reservation?
- In agreement. - In agreement.
It is already decided. We will go.
But if we discover that the soldier mounted has lied to us
will have to answer before our law.
- Konah does not agree! - The council has decided.
What happens now with our agreement?
I'm the boss of all the Creeks.
The word of Erect Bear It is strong as rock.
And clear as water. The prisoners will be released.
And my people will march, tomorrow.
- It's a deal between the two. - It's a deal between the two.
Has soldier spoken with the bosses?
- Yes - And what did they say?
- They agreed. - Then I am your son.
Oh, sorry. I do not know I asked.
We have talked about other things. Of more important things.
More important?
Well, no more important, but more ... more urgent.
We must wait.
You do not want me to be your son.
Hey, listen to me. This just it matters to both of us.
We do not have to ask for permission. I have made peace with your people.
Let's make this peace strong. From now on, you are my son.
I want everyone to know.
Someone must shout it for Let them know soon.
We will do it.
- Now, all that's missing ... - What?
That the soldier's son mounted carry an eagle feather
- And do not go around walking. - True.
The son of the mounted soldier will carry a feather and you will have a horse.
