What's Happening
Presented by: Thomas Long
In connection with St. Albert & the Northwest Resistance, Thomas Long presents the story of how fake news, rumours, and ignorance on the edges of the North-West Resistance contributed to panic spreading far from the sites of any actual battles. Edmonton had its own distinct experience, with a rumour of massive Indigenous uprising, supposed secret ambushes, daring horse messengers, and a mischievous cat out for a midnight stroll.
