Rupert's Land refers to a large land grant made to The Hudson's Bay Company by King Charles II of England in May of 1670 at the dawn of the North American fur trade explosion. The land grant was issued for a term of 200 years and comprised of the "Seas, Streightes, Bayes, Rivers, Lakes, Creekes and Soundes in whatsoever Latitude they shall bee that lye within the entrance of the Streightes commonly called Hudsons Streightes..." (sic). Essentially, all of the land that Hudson's Bay drained into. As knowledge of the overall geography of North America was vague at this time, it is doubtful the King realized he was essentially granting all the land north to the North Pole; west to the Pacific Ocean; and south to the point where the claim abutted claims by other British subjects, or other states. The name "Rupert's Land" comes from the first governor of The Hudson's Bay Company, the King's cousin, Prince Rupert.
They were given a large portion of land surrounding the Hudson bay. The land was called "Ruperts Land". Since the HBC owned the land they had an monopoly of its buisness. Monopoly-complete control(only people aloud to buy and sell furs there)

In Canada he is. Canada bought Ruperts Land and acted like there was no people living there and if any where they would be thrilled to be ruled by Canada. Riel made it impossible to suggest people were not already living in Ruperts Land, worst yet he forced Canada to kill and take land by force. Something they would like to forget.

They were not British, not a colony. Only after Canada bought Ruperts Land and acquired the Northwest Territories did they "inherit" aboriginal issues and treaties that had to be addressed.
They did not flee, they held their ground, putting Canada into the position of purging the land of Metis and other people included in their purchase of Ruperts Land. Canada choose to blame just the leaders who fled to the United States as refugees.
