Where had the Metis fled after the red river rebellion?
They did not flee, they held their ground, putting Canada into the position of purging the land of Metis and other people included in their purchase of Ruperts Land. Canada choose to blame just the leaders who fled to the United States as refugees.
How did the Metis act when Ruperts land was purchased by Canada?
Today the term Metis refer to all those of European and Aboriginal mixed blood but when Canada purchased Ruperts Land, complete with people, Metis referred to French and Aboriginal mixed bloods. Most mixed bloods in Ruperts Land were Scottish Aboriginal or British Aboriginal and that is still the case for Western Canada. This answer will refer to all those of European Aboriginal mixed blood as Metis. They responded as anyone would if they had found themselves being sold to a new country without being consulted. First with questions, then with action which included creating their own government to talk to Canada with. Canada would not accept any such governments in their colonies and responded violently. The Metis and other met violence with violence but were out numbered and out gunned.

What did Louis riel do in the US?
Scheme to respond to the Canadian invasion of Ruperts Land and to hide from the successful domination of Ruperts Land by Canada.
Is Louis riel a villain?
In Canada he is. Canada bought Ruperts Land and acted like there was no people living there and if any where they would be thrilled to be ruled by Canada. Riel made it impossible to suggest people were not already living in Ruperts Land, worst yet he forced Canada to kill and take land by force. Something they would like to forget.

Why were First Nations peoples' voices not heard in Canadian Confederation?
They were not British, not a colony. Only after Canada bought Ruperts Land and acquired the Northwest Territories did they "inherit" aboriginal issues and treaties that had to be addressed.
What areas of land did Ruperts Land cover?
i really don't know sorry dawg
What was Louis riel going to become?
Dead. Canada could not allow the people included in their purchase of Ruperts Land to play as large a role as Louis Riel demanded and they were prepared to kill as many people as required.
How did confederation affect the métis on ruperts land?
Negatively. Once Confederated Canada looked to colonize Ruperts Land which they eventually did. The Metis and many, some say most, locals (those living in Ruperts Land before being sold to Canada) did not agree with Canadian Colonisation of what they saw as their land. Canada used military force and fraud to quell rebellions to control and manipulate the Metis until large numbers of Canadian immigrants were used to make the locals, including the Metis, a minority in their own land. This was meant to and did disenfranchise them from the political processes that would create Canadian provinces and territories from Canada's new Colonies. It was even worst for those "mixed breeds" of English and Scottish descent. Canada's deep cultural connections to the French had resulted in them being referred to as "Metis" a French/Latin word. Not likely one they would have chosen. Even today within the Metis community some do not consider them "real" Metis because they are not French. The Metis, including those of Scottish, English and French descent lost lands, cultures and a major role in the political systems that rule them due to the Confederation of British Colonies to the East.
Where can one acquire a mortgage for land?
There are a number of company websites that can help with this. Zillow is one and Eplans is another. It is easier to get mortgages for land in relatively less-densely populated countries, such as Canada.
Who built the red river rebellion?
Canada, Britain and the Hudson Bay Company. By ignoring the people who were already living in and on the land when HBC sold Ruperts Land they put the rightful owners of the land in the position of having to assert their rightful claims by any means necessary. When it became clear that Canada was not going to acknowledge their claims any means necessary meant trying to use force to defend their lands. That didn't work out too good.
