What rights did Louis riel fight for?
Louis Riel fought for the Metis rights
What problems faced the metis?
They hunted bison and the bison soon moved away. The USA also wanted the Metis land.
What are the metis?
The Métis are a people that are descended from intermarriage between the native Northern Plains Indians and the French-Canadian explorers and settlers. They live mostly in the borderlands between Canada and the Northern Plain States.
Why were the metis people unhappy with the government?
In the late 1800s, the Canadaian government promised the Metis land (1.4million acres) for land taken. They have still not received it. Also, any of the the Metis were forcibly assimilated into English culture and society much like other First Nations groups.
Why did the government ignore the metis pleas for help?
The Metis are people who are half Native American, and that created a situation where they were not accepted into either society. No support was given because of their Native bloodlines.
