#Poundmaker: Life and Legacy So how did the #Cree define leadership before the word chief became the norm? Poundmaker, born Pihtokahanapiwiyin in 1842 near present-day Battleford, Saskatchewan, lived at a time of immense upheaval for the Plains Cree. His leadership was recognized by the term: okimâw, which is a leader chosen by consensus through wisdom, generosity, and service to his people. In 1873, he was adopted by Crowfoot, the Blackfoot Leader, forging a powerful alliance that helped their nations manage the crisis of shrinking bison herds. When #treaty6 was brought forward in 1876, Poundmaker spoke against its unfair terms. He warned: “This is our land. It is not a piece of pemmican to be cut off and given in little pieces back to us.” Yet famine was pressing, and at the insistence of his starving people, he signed, not in trust, but in desperation. As okimâw, Poundmaker sought to hold #Canada accountable. He demanded the rations and farming support promised under Treaty 6, even as the government withheld aid to force the Cree onto reserves and clear land for the railway. In 1885, during the North-West Resistance, troops attacked his camp at Cut Knife Hill. His warriors defended their families, but when the soldiers retreated, Poundmaker stopped his men from chasing them down. His restraint saved lives on both sides. He later said: “I did everything to stop bloodshed.” Despite this, he was arrested after the fall of Batoche, tried by an all-white jury, and imprisoned at Stony Mountain. The harsh conditions destroyed his health, and he died soon after release from a lung hemorrhage, at around 45 years old Poundmaker is remembered as the last traditional leader of his nation. After his death, the Canadian government refused to recognize Cree governance for thirty years, until 1919. Under the Indian Act, the role of “chief” was imposed, a western construct, elected and accountable to Ottawa rather than to the people. This marked a turning point: the Cree system of okimâwak, grounded in consensus and responsibility, was replaced with a colonial structure. Today, Poundmaker is honored as a peacemaker, exonerated more than a century too late. But also, he stands as a reminder of how leadership changed after him, from being recognized under Cree law, to the current structure. #nativetiktok Disclaimer: this history is not definitive, and I am open to education as I know there are elders with more information from oral traditions and records that I haven’t seen yet.#Poundmaker: Life And Legacy So Sound Effects Free Download.
