The markers tell the story of a significant battle in the U.S. - Dakota War of 1862.  Some photos are annotated with excerpts from "Hinhankaga's Ordeal"  - an oral narrative passed from Joseph Kabupi Coursolle to his grandson.

About Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967
Until the late 1900s, church registers in Quebec served as civil and vital records in that province. Throughout the years a second copy of church records, from all denominations, was sent annually to the appropriate courthouse. During the 1940s the vital record collections in courthouses throughout Quebec were filmed by the Institut Généalogique Drouin.*
