An effort to feed their families

On August 4, 1889, the New York Times reported that there was a concerted effort to stop Metis smugglers from running wood cut at the Turtle Mountains into Canada to sell in an effort to feed their families. 

The Metis women were noted to be sending signals from one butte to the next to inform the smugglers about the movements of the government officers who were trying to arrest them.​
