Summary: Gabriel, a master hunter and speaker of indigenous languages, lived on and for the land. Louis, university educated and deeply Catholic, never seemed fully comfortable in the wilderness and instead continually strove for a way to build his vision of a new church, a new society, in the wilds of the West, And when these two powerful men came together in 1884 and 1885, a truly united Métis worldview emerged, one that John A. Macdonald quickly recognized as a threat to his vision of Canada.
