The Métis played a crucial role in Manitoba's entry into Confederation in 1870, primarily through their resistance to the encroachment of Canadian settlers on their lands and rights. Led by Louis Riel, the Métis organized the Red River Resistance, demanding recognition of their land rights and cultural identity. Their negotiations with the Canadian government resulted in the Manitoba Act, which established Manitoba as a province and provided protections for Métis land and rights. This pivotal moment not only secured the Métis' place in the new province but also highlighted their significance in shaping Canadian history.
