<strong>Gabriel</strong> <strong>Dumont</strong> is an iconic figure in Métis and Canadian history. In the<br />
popular imagination, he is well known for leading the Métis forces during the<br />
1885 Resistance, and for being a renowned bison hunt leader, a Wild West<br />
show performer, and a husband to his beloved Madeleine. But outside of<br />
printed history and a fragmented oral history what do we really know about<br />
him? How has he been imagined over time? This book answers these<br />
questions by focusing on visual and journalistic representations of <strong>Gabriel</strong><br />
<strong>Dumont</strong> through time and space. Compiled together for the first time,<br />
these eclectic sources provide poignant vignettes of <strong>Gabriel</strong> <strong>Dumont</strong>’s life,<br />
which will greatly contribute to our knowledge about him, and will further<br />
contribute to his legend.<br />
