Frog Lake is an Indian reservation with a population of about 1000. It was the scene of the Frog Lake Massacre, a Cree uprising during the North-West Rebellion. Angered by what seemed to be unfair treaties by the Canadian government and the dwindling buffalo population, their main source of food, Big Bear and his Cree decided to rebel after the successful Métis victory at Duck Lake. Young Cree warriors, led by war chief Wandering Spirit, attacked the small town near Frog Lake, Alberta; nine white men were killed.
