The Métis Uprising, also known as the Red River Rebellion, took place in 1869-1870 in what is now Manitoba, Canada. It was led by Louis Riel and aimed to address the grievances of the Métis people regarding land rights, cultural recognition, and political representation following the Canadian government's plans to annex the territory without consulting them. The uprising culminated in the establishment of a provisional government and the negotiation of the Manitoba Act, which created the province of Manitoba and recognized some Métis rights. The conflict highlighted the struggles of the Métis and indigenous peoples in the face of Canadian expansion.
