North West Rebellion Research Paper

The Pontiac’s Rebellion happened right after the close of the French and Indian war. On May 7, 1763 the Pontiac’s War also known as the Pontiac’s Rebellion began. The Pontiac’s Rebellion was a war between the French and British.

The Metis had their land temporarily and had it taken away because the government tricked them into losing their land by handing them a slip that confused them deeply. They deserved that right to land and after, they were poor and homeless. They stole from the HBC because the settlers stole their land and it was only fair. There was also low prices for wheat and the high prices for tractors and such and that made the Metis farmers angry so Riel helped them reach their goal. The Mountain police came in because they were stealing from the HBC. The Metis were hungry and had to attack using all the ammunition they could get because the Mountain Police started to attack when they could’ve just

The day a white man stepped foot on to Canadian soil, was the start of troubles Indigenous people have dealt with. There have been so many events and cases where Indigenous people just want what they have rights over. “So far as actual events are concerned, Oka, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, Delgamuukw and Nunavut..” were the only few that had made headlines in the news during the 1990s. There are so many little conflicts that government has with indigenous people that no one is aware of till it becomes a big issue like the Oka Crisis when the Mohawk people of Oka were getting their rights taken away, along with their land. It was worse when you found out that the land they wanted to take away from them was the place where

Canada wanted to expanded to the west area called Rupert’s Land. There were 70000 people and about 60000 of them were First Nations. The others were British colonists, people who worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company, and Metis. Metis were the descendants of parents who were either British or French and First Nations. Rupert’s Land became a part of Canada’s North-West Territories. The French Roman Catholic Metis were afraid that the British settlers would threaten their language, religion, and the way of life. Louis Riel who was the French Metis organized the Metis in Red River and formed a government. They wanted the Canadian government to keep their language and religion, and allowed them to own their and farm. Canadian government did not agree

This article is about one of the best-known Metis population. It started in the Red River region of Manitoba. Rupert's Land, which was owned by the Hudson's Bay Company, happened to be inhabited by the Metis. In 1869, Canada purchased the land from Hudson's Bay Company without talking to the Metis. The Metis of the area feared that their title and rights were being ignored, so they decided to set up a National Committee of Metis, in order to stop the transfer of the land and their rights and title had been recognized. This is what induced the Red River Rebellion, under the leadership of Louis Riel. The Metis set up a provisional government, so they could negotiate terms for entering Confederation with Canada. They created a Bill of Rights.

The First Nations people faced a huge

By the time when the white people arrived here, First Nations was very kind and generous to them, and showed them all the necessary survival skills for living here. However, what the white people wanted was only to make their fortune in the fur trading. They married Aboriginal women because they learned that these women had the skill and expertise to treat the furs, and these women were called “country wives.” The “country wives” and their children were left here when the men retired and return to their homeland. The white people were so selfish that they did care how these women and children’s lives would go on after they left. Actually, these “country wives” and the metis were discriminated all the rest of their lives. In addition, once the fur trading was over, the government didn’t know what to do with the Aboriginal people, but, finally they got an idea, residential school. That was the most terrible period in First Nation’s history, which destroyed their lives and interfered with eight generations of First

The Indigenous peoples of North America have clashed with settlers and colonialism since the arrival of the first explorers. European settlers looked to colonize and exploit the land for financial and personal gain, this is much different than the relationship that the Indigenous people had and still have with the land. With colonization and the creation of Canada came the mistreatment and dismantling of Indigenous nations; removing them from their traditional lands and relocating groups onto reserves of less desirable land. Indigenous groups have tried and been unsuccessful in reobtaining their traditional lands through the courts, such as the Mohawks at Oka.

Aboriginal cultures have not been well accepted into white cultures; specifically when the French and British explorer’s came to Canada. There were cultural and language barriers that made the exploration of Canada difficult as well as the interactions between the Aboriginal peoples and the White explorers. Due to this language barrier this allows the Europeans to claim whatever they want for themselves without disagreement or intervention. This European advancement on Aboriginal land creates tension to be thick upon the meeting of the two groups.
