In this project, students will develop an appreciation of the problems and difficulties associated with enforcing the law and keeping the peace in the Canadian West. The Mounties represent Canada around the world, as seen recently during the outpouring of grief for the four slain RCMP officers in Alberta, and students will examine what they symbolize to Canadians and to other cultures. They will examine the life, stories, personalities, qualities, and traits of both the Maverick Mounties and the forces that they were a part of, evaluating whether or not the reputation was justly deserved.
