Final answer:

Sir Sam Steele was a great frontier hero, Mounted Policeman, and soldier of the Queen, known for his role in establishing law and order in Canada's frontier territories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sir Sam Steele was A. A great frontier hero, Mounted Policeman and soldier of the Queen. He was a key figure in the early years of the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) and later in the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. His presence and leadership helped to establish law and order in Canada's frontier territories.

He is not to be confused with other historical figures such as Sir John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada, who played a pivotal role in Canada's formation as a nation and the expansion of its territories. Nor was Sir Sam Steele the military leader of the Métis -- that was Louis Riel -- or the Father of Manitoba.
