Dumont, a leading figure in the Metis society of hunters along the South Saskatchewan, had been president of the short-lived local government, and became "Adjutant General of the Metis people" when a Provisional Government was declared in 1885. After the defeat of the Rebellion by the Canadian militia Dumont lived for several years in the United States. In his last years he returned to his old home near Batoche (site of the final defeat of the Metis forces in 1885), where he died in 1906.
