Published as part of Frontier Books' regional history series, the booklet explores the intense social and political friction that culminated in a breakaway faction of Plains Cree warriors, led by Wandering Spirit, attacking the settlement of Frog Lake. Fryer details how systemic starvation, unfulfilled government treaty promises, and rising tensions overrode the peaceful intentions of Chief Big Bear, leading to the deaths of nine federal officials, priests, and settlers. Through a compilation of historical records and survivor perspectives, the narrative provides an accessible yet stark look at the desperation, chaotic violence, and immediate military aftermath that reshaped Canadian-Indigenous relations in the West.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eISBN: 9780919214568  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGC\u0026amp;C Stock #5303\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48250487832806,"sku":"5303","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6212\/8614\/files\/5303_1.jpg?v=1787862235","url":"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/frog-lake-massacre-by-frontier-books-1984-1st-ed","provider":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
