December 1869 CE

McDougall has appointed Dennis to raise a militia to arrest the Métis' occupying Upper Fort Garry.

The anglophone settlers had largely ignored this call to arms, and Dennis had withdrawn to Lower Fort Garry.

Schultz, however, had been emboldened to fortify his house and store.

Riel takes the threat seriously and orders Schultz's home surrounded.

The resisters surrender on December 7 and are imprisoned in Fort Garry.
