"Maria's Place/Batoche" is the final song on Connie Kaldor's second album, 1984's Moonlight Grocery, which garnered Kaldor a Juno nomination in 1985 for Most Promising Female Vocalist.
I remember buying the album used in Winnipeg during our Fort Frances sojourn, at the same time I bought Holly Near's A Live Album, but I think we had heard Kaldor play at a folk festival somewhere – maybe even in Winnipeg – and became enamoured of this song, at least in part because of my life-long fascination with Louis Riel and the Red River and Northwest rebellions.

Although this "Maria's Place/Batoche" is one of Kaldor's five or so most famous, I can't find it available on the web anywhere, so you better go out and buy yourself a copy.
