Poundmaker .: R5-571/1967E-PDF
"Poundmaker was born around 1841 and spent his youth in the northwest plains, where as an orphan without the normal benefits of parental instruction and material wealth, he developed with determination, superior skills and an independent judgement which he could persuasively express. There was a growing respect among the Cree people for the potential leadership which was evident in the adventuresome activities of the young man. In an unusual turn of events Poundmaker voluntarily allowed himself to be adopted son of Crowfoot, a powerful chief of the Blackfoot Confederacy and traditional enemy of the Crees. The old antagonises between Blackfoot and Cree were in part reconciled through the strong bond which developed between the Blackfoot chief and his adopted son"--p. [1].
