Want this question answered?
In the late 1800s, the Canadaian government promised the Metis land (1.4million acres) for land taken. They have still not received it. Also, any of the the Metis were forcibly assimilated into English culture and society much like other First Nations groups.
The Metis are people who are half Native American, and that created a situation where they were not accepted into either society. No support was given because of their Native bloodlines.

The Metis Rebellion was when the Metis People in Canada fought for their rights and freedom, fighting because the Canadian Government was not treating them well. it was also known as the Red River Rebellion. I've attached a link to a good website for more detailed.
They set up a provisional government, a temporary government that would run the area until the Metis' problems with the Canadian government were solved.
