The Battle of Batoche was the decisive battle of the North-West Rebellion, which pitted the Canadian authorities against a force of indigenous and Métis people. Fought from May 9 to 12, 1885, at the ad hoc Provisional Government of Saskatchewan capital of Batoche, the greater numbers and superior firepower of General Frederick Middleton's force could not be countered by the Métis, as had happened at the earlier Battle of Fish Creek, the town was captured; the defeat of the Métis led to the surrender of Louis Riel on May 15 and the collapse of the Provisional Government. Poundmaker surrendered on May 26. Cree fighters and families under Big Bear held out the longest, fighting off Canadian troops pursuing them in the Battle of Frenchman's Butte and Battle of Loon Lake, dwindling in number, staying on the move until Big Bear turned himself in to Mounties at Fort Carlton in early July. Conscious of the numerous reverses, suffered by government forces in previous clashes with the rebels, Middleton approached Batoche with caution, reaching Gabriel's Crossing on 7 May and advancing within eight miles of the town the following day.

Middleton's plan rested on an encirclement strategy: as his main contingent advanced directly against Métis defensive lines, the steamboat Northcote, carrying some of Middleton's troops, would steam past the distracted defenders and unload fifty men at the rear of the town closing the pincer. However, due to the difficulty of the terrain and Middleton's penchant for prudence, his force lagged behind schedule, when the Northcote appeared adjacent to the town on 9 May it was spotted by Métis who had not yet come under artillery fire, their small arms fire did little damage to the armoured ship, but they lowered Batoche's ferry cable, into which the Northcote steamed unsuspectingly, slicing off its masts and smokestacks. Crippled, the ship drifted harmlessly down the South Saskatchewan River and out of the battle. Ignorant of the Northcote's fate, Middleton approached the church at Mission Ridge on the morning of 9 May in order to bring his plan into effect; some Métis in two houses south of the church began firing at Boulton's Scouts, but artillery was brought up to shell the houses, one of which caught fire.

The Métis sharpshooters fled toward the settlement. The troops advanced toward the church; as they approached the church and nearby rectory, they saw some people near those buildings whom they took to be the enemy. Second Lieutenant Arthur L. Howard, a Gatling gun expert on leave from the Connecticut National Guard, fired his Gatling gun at the rectory. A white flag was unfurled, Howard's firing stopped, several priests, nuns and children came across the lines. Finding the mission occupied only by civilians, Middleton brought his artillery out onto the ridge and began shelling the town; the soldiers began advancing past the church, got about half a kilometre before they came under heavy fire from both sides of the trail. The militia took cover, their enemies, hidden in well-constructed rifle pits, were invisible. One trooper wrote: " down some distance apart from each other, firing at nothing, making guess shots and hearing the rebel bullets zip all round you, the everlasting clack as the bullets struck the trees."The now-dismounted irregular militia cavalry, Boulton's and French's Scouts, were deployed on the right.

The 10th Royal Grenadiers, militia infantry from Toronto, were in the centre, with the 90th Winnipeg Rifles militia, Howard and his Gatling on the left, to protect the artillery. The infantry of the Midland Battalion, militia from eastern Ontario, were kept in reserve near the church, now being used as a Canadian field hospital. A dangerous situation developed when a group of Métis rushed the artillery. Only Howard's directing a heavy stream of Gatling fire at the attackers prevented a disaster. From these few minutes the frustrated soldiers got the only clear view of the Métis fighters that they were to have until the final moments of the battle, three days later. After the attack was repulsed, the artillery was pulled back a couple of hundred meters, the infantry and dismounted Scouts followed suit; the Métis redeployed their men to try to outflank the militia, heavy fighting ensued. After noon, the artillery was ordered forward again, it began fruitlessly bombarding the invisible Métis rifle pits.

The gunners were under heavy fire, in a unsafe position. The Midlanders, brought forward from the church, wanted to charge their unseen enemies, but were ordered not to by Middleton. Throughout, the Gatling gun was used to good effect, providing covering fire for the withdrawal of cannon that had come under sniper fire, dispersing another attempt by Gabriel Dumont to capture the guns. Canadian advances saw less success but were conducted, keeping casualties to a minimum. A Métis attempt to surround the Canadian lines failed when the brushfires meant to screen the sortie failed to spread. At the end of the day, both sides held their positions at Mission Ridge, but Middleton, shaken by the fierce resistance, ordered the Canadian soldiers to retire to a "zareba," a hastily improvised fortification about a mile from the Métis entrenchments, where the troops retired to sleep behind their network of improvised barricades. On 10 May, Middleton established defended gunpits and conducted a devastating, day-long shelling of the town.

Attempted advances, were turned back by Métis fire, no ground was gained. The next day, Middleton gauged the strength of the defenders by dispatching a contingent of men north along the enemy's flank while simultane
