How did Louis riel lead the northwest rebellion?

He started by returning from the United States where he was hiding from Canada who wanted to kill him. Then he worked with Dumont and Jackson to set up a Government in Saskatchewan and open talks with Canada. What happened next may not best be described as leading a rebellion as going along for the ride. Canada's treatment of the locals and in particular the Aboriginals would be today a crime against humanity. Some were actually starving and with nothing to lose they began to attack Canadians and their allies resulting in massacres. Riel did not want that but what's a government to do when it's people are desperate. At the same time Riel was actively fighting at many of the major battles, how active seems to vary by who tells the story but there is no report of him killing Canadians in battle. How did he lead? As part of a team.

What factors lead to riels emergence as leader of the metis?

The main factor was the violent response by Canada. Riel was a local leader and did not identify as Indian or Mixed Blood until after Canada sent troops to force people in Western Canada to consent to colonisation by Canada. Canada played up Riels Indian connection. His family was French, French Farmers who had settled in the Red River area. Riel spent time on the farm and in French cities in Quebec, he was not a trapper or hunter any more than any farmer in the area of is birth. But Canada did not want Canadians to know that, particularly the French with whom they had just entered into a fragile Confederation with. It would look very bad to have Canadian troops from Ontario attacking French Farmers in the West. So Canada called Riel Metis, which was a racial slur among the French and prevented the French from being upset at the treatment of people living in Ruperts Land. In the end the Indians and mixed bloods looked to Riel for support and leadership against an increasingly aggressive Canada who was flooding the area with immigrants and had put in place a paramilitary force to crush any resistance to Canadian colonisation. If Canada had given the people of Ruperts Land and the territories the right to vote on colonisation and had not used force and fraud to get compliance Riel would not be a Metis leader.
