Kamdyistowesit or Beardy, literally little moustache (in French Barbu) was the chief of the Willow band of the Plains Cree. Kamdyistowesit was born about 1828 probably near Duck Lake (Sask.) and died April 16, 1889 at the Beardy Reserve (Sask.).
The North-West Rebellion (or North-West Resistance) was a five-month insurgency against the Canadian government, fought mainly by the Métis and their First Nations allies.
