The white expansion into the Ohio Valley Region brought about the decline and the eventual dissolution of the Native American way of life.

Homesteaders, ranchers, and miners encroached on Indian lands and threatened native game and ways of life.

The Métis/ Riel rebellion is one that echoes in Canadian history. It is the cause for much distress on both the rebel and the side of the government of Canada. This tail includes different rebellions which intertwine together; the Red River Rebellion, and the North West Rebellion. The Red River rebellion itself dates back to 1869 and ended in 1870, while the North West Rebellion occurred in 1885; which was a quick and deadly revolution (New, 2002:826). The lead up to these historic event date back

having lost land to the white settlers, some tribes dreaded the news of the revolutionary war against the British, as they were afraid that the American Revolution would lead to more loss of land. Another reason may be linked to the idea of a “noble savage.” Some settlers, such as Thomas Jefferson believed that Indians could vindicate themselves if they lived and adapted to the ways of the white man. The Indians were not interested in this “white” way of life and wanted to continue living with their
