The main two figures involved in the Red River Rebellion were Louis Riel and Thomas Scott. Louis Riel, a Métis leader, sought to protect the rights and land of the Métis people in the Red River Settlement against the Canadian government's encroachment. Thomas Scott, an Orangeman and member of the Canadian party, opposed Riel's leadership and policies, leading to tensions that culminated in Scott's execution by Riel's forces. This conflict highlighted the cultural and political struggles between the Métis and the Canadian authorities.
