When the Hudson's bay company sold much of western Canada where the Métis lived it caused much controversy. The Métis rights given by the Hudson's bay company such as monopoly of the fur trade covered commercial, political, and administrative as well as land rights. the Métis feared for there newly owned rights when Rupert's land finally got annexed to the rest of Canada and became Manitoba on July Louis Riel became the government for the Métis leader. The government was formed in order to discuss Métis rights and negotiate land rights. Although they were denied all there confrontations because they were met by armed guards and weren't allowed to talk to anyone. Riel then executed a prisoner Thomas Scott. Canada refused to give them amnesty. The Manitoba act was formed along with the province. The Métis rights were still not being met so they moved farther west to preserve there way of life.

More colonists arrived. Métis were driven farther west. Riel was found taking refuge in the states building groups of natives and Métis so that they could present there claims to Canada. Canada refused to listen or negotiate. Riel took several prisoners them in an attempt to change there mind. And finally when the police and volunteers agreed to negotiate it turned into a gun war where 5 Métis, 3 police men, 9 volunteers, and 1 native where killed. The Canadian government sent 5000 soldiers after them. The Métis were forced to surrender. Riel was captured and sentenced to death. And right after this the Métis were forced to give up and drop there claims. The Métis land rights fur trade monopoly and political and administrative rights had been taken from them leaving them shattered and torn.

The Métis rebellion in western Canada is extremely important to the nationalism of Canada. This shows of a group of people are pure and half pure Canadians fighting relentlessly for there rights. It shows how there nationalistic pride would not allow them to just get toppled over with out a fight. they did everything they could in an attempt to gain rights and respect. Even though the Métis rebellion of Manitoba was unsuccessful there spirit and courage still lives on today because it is considered a very important cause to the reason why natives and Métis have equal rights and land claims now a days. We still learn of this rebellion today because it is a symbol of Canadian pride and the fight for freedom and equality among all who live here.
