Canada's Largest Mass Execution: The Battleford Hangings
Published 3 years, 7 months ago
Description
After the Frog Lake Massacre and the North West Resistance, eight Indigenous men were arrested and put on trial. The trial was a foregone conclusion, and all were put to death outside Battleford in 1885. It was the largest mass hanging in Canadian history.
