Gabriel Dumont

Gabriel Dumont (December, 1837 May 19, 1906) was a leader of the Mtis people of what is now western Canada. In 1873 Dumont was elected to the presidency of the short-lived commune of St-Laurent; afterward he continued to play a leading role among the Mtis of the South Saskatchewan River. He was adjutant general in the provisional Mtis government declared in Manitoba in 1885, and commanded the Mtis forces in the North-West Rebellion or North West Resistance of 1885. In 1998, the public French first language high school in London, Ontario was re-named cole Secondaire Gabriel-Dumont in his honour.
