[2] Almighty Voice was born in 1874, near Duck Lake, in what was then part of the North-West Territories, in the area that became the One Arrow Willow Cree Reserve.
[1] For his part in the resistance, One Arrow was convicted of treason and imprisoned in Stoney Mountain Prison, Manitoba.
He crossed the South Saskatchewan River, and trekked the twenty miles back to his mother’s lodge.
[3] As this was now a murder investigation, the NWMP took Sounding Sky, Almighty Voice’s father, into custody to prevent him from assisting his fugitive son.
[3] In this proclamation, Almighty Voice was described to be about 5’10”, in his early twenties and feminine, with a scar on the left side of his face.
[7] On May 27, 1897, Almighty Voice, his cousin Little Saulteaux, and his brother-in-law Topean[2] shot and killed a Métis scout near Duck Lake.
The following morning, May 30, 1897, the NWMP, joined by their civilian reinforcements, surrounded the bluff that served as the fugitives' hideout.
They bombarded the bluff with a field artillery piece,[7] and shortly after, recovered the bodies of Almighty Voice, Little Saulteaux, and Topean.
It prominently features his wife, who was never named in official government records,[13] and emphasizes an imagined relationship between the two of them.
