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.

How did he lead? As part of a team.
