| Scope and content | File contains a copy of Andrews' article "Indian Protest Against Starvation: The Yellow Calf Incident of 1884" from Saskatchewan History, volume 28 (2), 1975 page 41 to 51. It argues that the dismissal of government farm instructor James Setter and his replacement by a much less sympathetic individual that adhered closely to government policy, led to the Yellow Calf Incident. Under direction from Hayter Reed, the new farm instructor strictly enforced the work for rations policy, especially with the Sakimay (Yellow Calf) band. Yellow Calf and some men apparently confronted the new instructor and then broke into the store house and helped themselves to flour and bacon. | |
