Kinmount plus Metis Resistance

This week, Kate the story of Kinmount. Existing just outside of Haliburton County, Kinmount is still often seen as an honorary member of the County. Plus, it's the wrap-up....the third episode of 3 episodes about the evolution of Canada's interior from a territory created by the early fur trade; the development of the Metis people with a presence in both the European and Indigenous communities; to the clash between a growing Canada and the entrenched Metis people. Tragically it meant resistance; executions; and a wound that in some ways still exists within Canada today.
