Manitoba and the Metis Perspective Red RIVER RESISTANCE Manitoba and the Metis Perspective

Red River Resistance 1869= Canadian government surveyors arrived in the Red River Area. Metis upset because the boundaries of their long, narrow river lot farms were being ignored as the land was being surveyed into square blocks. Metis > Decided to put a stop to this by taking away the chains that were being used by the surveyors Metis > Also anger with the governments decision to appoint William McDougall as governor of the North West Territories. McDougall = Favoured westward expansion and was for sending the land surveyors

Enter > Louis Riel Louis Riel emerged as the leader of the Metis during this time period. Born in the Red River Settlement Well educated Persuasive speaker who was fluent in both English and French PLAY VIDEO https://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=t5YrtvO7FDs&t=185s

National Committee of Metis Louis Riel = the secretary of committee Purpose of the committee = was to bargain with the Canadian government for lands, language, and religious rights of the Metis people Goal = to stop the newly appointed governor, William McDougal, from entering and taking control of the Red River area Metis did not think that McDougal had any right to enter the Red River Settlement Official transfer of Rupert’s Land to Canada had yet to take place

National Committee of Metis McDougal acted before official government instructions and attempted to enter the Red River Settlement Metis reaction = 14 armed Metis blocked McDougal and then seized Fort Garry (HBC headquarters in Red River) The Metis now had control of the settlement Riel invited both French and English speaking Metis to an assembly at Fort Garry At this meeting the Metis wrote a List of Rights > the conditions by which they would join Canada

Metis List of Rights TASK = >Get into groups of 4 and move desks together >List the rights you think the Metis would have listed regarding their conditions for joining Canada. >Things to keep in mind = Metis language, culture, and traditions Government structure and provincial control Connection to rest of Canada Land recognition and rights

Metis List of Rights Compare group lists with the actual Metis List of Rights on page 220. TASK= > Look for similarities/differences between your group list and actual list > What items on this list do you think the Canadian government would accept or discard ? Why?
