all inclines my heart to go and dwell
with the Palefaces until I understand them better, and teach them some
of the wisdom of the Red-man. I shall return to Red River to-morrow,
along with my Paleface brother whose name is Pee-ter, and while I am
away I counsel my braves and brothers to dwell and hunt and fish
together in love and peace."

How it fared with Okematan on his self-imposed mission we cannot tell,
but we do know that from 1821--the date of the auspicious coalition
before mentioned--the sorely tried colony began steadily to prosper,
and, with the exception of the mishaps incident to all new colonies, and
a disastrous flood or two, has continued to prosper ever since.
Civilisation has made rapid and giant strides, especially during the
later years of the century. The wave has rushed far and deep over the
old boundaries, and now the flourishing city of Winnipeg, with its
thousands of inhabitants, occupies the ground by the banks of the Red
River, on which, not many years ago, the old Fort Garry stood, a sort of
sentinel-outpost, guarding the solitudes of what was at that time
considered a remote part of the great wilderness of Rupert's Land.
