00:00 The Canadian Northwest.
00:02 Here the first traders from the old world,
00:06 intermarried with the Indians of the plains and the forests,
00:10 to found a new race, the Metis of Canada.
00:14 Here for two centuries, these half-breed hunters and trappers
00:18 multiplied and prospered, a law unto themselves.
00:22 Then surveyors and home builders pushed westward,
00:26 bringing laws of land and property,
00:29 which threatened to end forever the freeways of the wild trails.
00:34 In 1885, resentful and confused,
00:38 the half-breeds, under the leadership of Louis Riel,
00:42 revolted against the advance of unwelcome law.
00:46 In that hour, a handful of hard-riding men in scarlet coats,
00:51 the Northwest Mounted Police,
00:53 stood between Canada's destiny and the rebellion
00:57 that was being kindled across the American border
01:00 in a little Montana schoolhouse.
01:02 Three cheers for the red, white, and blue.
01:05 Three cheers for the red, white, and blue.
01:09 Three cheers for the red, white, and blue.
01:14 Thy banner's adieu, we fumble.
01:18 Three cheers for the red, white, and blue.
01:22 Three cheers for the red, white, and blue.
01:26 Three cheers for the red, white, and blue.
01:30 Thy banner's adieu, we fumble.
01:34 Three cheers for the red, white, and blue.
01:39 Suzy, you didn't sing the last words.
01:43 I got scared, Mr. Riel.
01:45 He kind of looks like the big, bad robber in the picture book.
01:49 I'm going to let you all go home early today, children.
01:53 School dismissed.
01:55 Suzy, come here.
01:59 There's nothing to frighten you, Suzy.
02:02 These are just old friends from Canada.
02:04 Get the kid out. Time is short.
02:06 Follow along now, Suzy. Don't imagine things.
02:09 All right, Mr. Riel. I'll sing good tomorrow.
02:14 You're not going to be here tomorrow, Louie.
02:18 I got your message, Dirac.
02:20 But to return to Canada, that's death.
02:24 For some, maybe. Not for us.
02:26 15 years of exile haven't changed you, Corbo.
02:29 For you, I hope.
