Dollard’s Day or La Fête de Dollard in French, is now National Patriots' Day (officially known in French as La Journée nationale des Patriotes)—a provincial holiday in Quebec observed annually on the Monday preceding May 25. National Patriots' Day commemorates the 1837-1838 Rebellions in Lower Canada. Established in 2003 by the Quebec government, this holiday replaced the older, unofficially observed Fête de Dollard which commemorates the Battle of Long Sault which occurred over a five-day period in mid-May 1660 during the Beaver Wars. It was fought between French colonial militia, led by 24 year-old garrison commander of Fort Ville-Marie (now Montreal) Adam Dollard des Ormeaux (1635-60) with their Huron and Algonquin allies, against the Iroquois Confederacy. Vastly outnumbered by the Iroquois, Dollard and his companions died, but their efforts were not in vain, for the action delayed the Iroquois advance and imminent attack on Montreal. For these reasons, Dollard is regarded as an iconic figure in the history of Quebec and one of the saviours of New France.
