===Exoneration=== Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to members of the Poundmaker Cree Nation and others gathered at Cut Knife Hill, on 23 May 2019 to exonerate Poundmaker and clear his memory. In part he said: "The Government of Canada recognizes that Chief Poundmaker was not a criminal, but someone who worked tirelessly to ensure the survival of his people, and hold the Crown accountable to its obligations as laid out in Treaty 6. We recognize that the unjust conviction and imprisonment of Chief Poundmaker had, and continues to have, a profound impact on the Poundmaker Cree Nation."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/speeches/2019/05/23/statement-exoneration-chief-poundmaker |type=speech transcript |agency=Prime Minister Justin Trudeau |title=Statement of Exoneration for Chief Poundmaker |date=23 May 2019 |access-date=4 April 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/chief-poundmaker-exoneration-1.5126471 |title=Chief Poundmaker, wrongly convicted of treason-felony in 1885, to be exonerated by Trudeau |date=7 May 2019 |publisher=CBC |access-date=8 May 2019 |quote=Trudeau's statement of exoneration is being co-developed with Poundmaker Cree Nation.}}</ref>
