The Métis, led by Louis Riel, rose against the Canadian government during the Red River Rebellion in 1869-1870. This uprising was primarily driven by concerns over land rights and political representation following the acquisition of the Red River area by Canada. The conflict culminated in the establishment of a provisional government, but tensions continued, leading to the North-West Rebellion in 1885, which sought to address ongoing grievances but ultimately ended in defeat for the Métis.

How did confederation affect the métis on ruperts land?
Negatively. Once Confederated Canada looked to colonize Ruperts Land which they eventually did. The Metis and many, some say most, locals (those living in Ruperts Land before being sold to Canada) did not agree with Canadian Colonisation of what they saw as their land. Canada used military force and fraud to quell rebellions to control and manipulate the Metis until large numbers of Canadian immigrants were used to make the locals, including the Metis, a minority in their own land. This was meant to and did disenfranchise them from the political processes that would create Canadian provinces and territories from Canada's new Colonies. It was even worst for those "mixed breeds" of English and Scottish descent. Canada's deep cultural connections to the French had resulted in them being referred to as "Metis" a French/Latin word. Not likely one they would have chosen. Even today within the Metis community some do not consider them "real" Metis because they are not French. The Metis, including those of Scottish, English and French descent lost lands, cultures and a major role in the political systems that rule them due to the Confederation of British Colonies to the East.
