The Red River Rebellion, which occurred in 1869-1870, is significant as it marked a pivotal moment in Canadian history, highlighting issues of Indigenous rights, land ownership, and cultural identity. Led by Louis Riel, the rebellion brought attention to the grievances of the Métis people and set the stage for future negotiations regarding Indigenous sovereignty and governance. It also catalyzed the process of Manitoba's entry into Canada, shaping the nation’s political landscape. The legacy of the rebellion continues to resonate, influencing contemporary discussions about reconciliation and Indigenous rights in Canada.
What else can I help you with?
When did the red river rebellion happen?
The Red River Rebellion began in the fall of 1869 and continued until the summer of 1870.
What were the results of the red river rebellion?
Manitoba became a province, and Louis Riel was banished from Canada for five years.
What happened to Louis riel after red river rebellion?
After the Red River Resistance, Louis Riel spent most of the following 15 years in the USA. He was elected to the House of Commons three times, but was never allowed to take his seat. In 1885, he returned to lead the Northwest Rebellion, after which he was tried for treason, found guilty, and hanged.
What did Louis Riel start?
Although Louis Riel was a prominent figure in both the Red River Resistance and the North West Rebellion, he did not start either of them.
What would happen if the Red River Rebellion have never happened?
No Red River Rebellion? That would mean no Canada in Red River. The resistance to Canadian rule could only not occur if Canada had not taken the area by force, which would mean no Canada in western North America. Without Canada, backed by Britain, holding back the American's would have been left to a company, the Hudson Bay Company. The Americans would most certianly have been able to persude the HBC to sell their lands (or lose them to politics). Which would have made the USA very much larger than they are today. And Canada very much smaller.

Do you have any time lines of the Red River Rebellion?
The Red River Rebellion or "Red River Resistance" are the names given to the events surrounding the actions of a provisional government established by Metis leader Louis Riel in 1869 at the Red River Settlement in what is now the Canadian province of Manitoba.
Who led the Metis in the Red River Rebellion of 1870 and the Northwest Rebellion of 1885?
Louis Riel was the most vocal leader or spokesman, though there were other leaders in both rebellions.
How much percent of the Red River Rebellion were Europeans?
In 1870, shortly after the end of the Red River Rebellion, a census was taken which showed that the population breakdown of the Red River Settlement was: 5,757 French-speaking Metis, 4,083 English-speaking Halfbreeds, 1,565 European caucasians (overwhelmingly English-speaking), and 558 Indians, for a total population of 11,963. The territory (Rupert's Land) which included Red River was still a British possession. Canada had become an independent nation a few years earlier when, in 1867, the British government passed the British North America Act. Canada wanted to acquire Rupert's Land from Britain, and Britain had agreed to this in principle. Negotiations were still underway, however, as to the finer details of the transfer, when the Red River Rebellion began in the fall of 1869. Even those who were part of the rebellion (overwhelmingly Metis) claimed to be loyal to the Crown. The main issues in the so-called rebellion were the rights of the Metis (and, to a lesser extent, the Halfbreeds), and the terms upon which Rupert's Land, and specifically the Red River Settlement, would become part of Canada. There were very few Europeans who were supporters of the rebellion, no more than a handful and certainly less than one percent of the population. Although some were long-standing members of the Red River community who sympathized with the Metis, most of the Europeans supporting the rebellion were Fenians. (So, your next homework assignment is to tell us, "Who were the Fenians and why did they support the Red River Rebellion?")
