Riel Returns

after the the rebellion fell and the rebel were prosecuted louis riel's lawyers failed to save him and he was eventually executed the other rebels were charged with lesser offences but louis riel will always be known as a true canadian hero who stood up for what he believed in.

with all thats going you would figure that the hudson bay company would step in but the hudson bay officials in the area remained nuetral but the red river colony still did not agree with what they were doing and they even captured a main HBC trading post upper fort garry

The man who spoke for the metis people was louis riel considered to be a canadian hero he also comanded a small militia of colonists to protect surveyors from enetering the colony which gained him respect from more first nation communities.

A new province

The metis of saskatchuwan rought louis riel out of exile and he brought up the idea of retaliating against john. A Mcdolnalds government for not adressing metis grievances. after this another rebellion uprised and took over a church after this the rebellion started spreading out and then the battles between the government and rebels continued.

as a result of all the conflict te red river colony

did have a small win by turning the territory into a province(even thought shortly after it was given to the government) there was public land

that was controlled by the government but 607,000 hecters of it was given too the metis.

metis did not do well thought and louis and his liutenants were eventually exiled.
