AUNTIE B IS BACK!
In this episode, we uncover a nearly forgotten but pivotal moment in Canadian history—the Cypress Hills Massacre. On June 1, 1873, a group of American wolf hunters and whisky traders crossed into what is now Saskatchewan, seeking revenge for stolen horses. Their arrival at an Assiniboine camp ended in a deadly confrontation that left at least thirteen Indigenous people dead. We explore the events that led to the massacre, the chaotic frontier justice of the time, and how this tragedy spurred the creation of the North-West Mounted Police—Canada’s first national law enforcement agency. Join us as we piece together the story from conflicting accounts and examine its lasting impact on the Canadian West
