Events and Consequences of the Red River Rebellion

Introduction

In science we learn that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Each of the events of the Red River Rebellion had consequences for both the Métis and the government.

Instructions

Your task is to create a timeline of the events in the Red River Rebellion starting with 1860. For every event, you must also assess the consequences for both sides.

Here is an example of an entry:

Date

EventConsequence for Métis

Consequence for Government

1860

Arrival of new immigrants to Red River Valley.

Increased control of West.

ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES

Your timeline may be a chart, or look like the ones in your textbook (see page 169), or another format that makes sense. Your timeline should have at least ten events, and each must be accompanied by a detailed summary of the consequences. The timeline should be organized logically. You may submit your assignment on paper or electronically.

1869

Rupert’s Land Sold, Jan 22, 1869

The government buying Rupert’s Land ended up making the Métis not to be even allowed to be in their land, Rupert’s Land. This is one of the causes of the Red River Resistance.

The government gained control of a big chunk of the land, and Canada doubled its land mass.

1869

Oct 11, 1869 Louis Riel Stops Surveyors

Because Louis Riel had stepped onto the surveyors chains, the surveyors did not intrude in the Métis’ land. This caused no more surveyors on their land so they could remain in possession of their land.

Since the surveyors stopped, all the land the Government receives from the surveyors is no more. This leads to less land for Canada.

1869

Oct 18, 1869 National committee of the Métis

Riel wanted to protect the Métis’ land from the government, so he formed the National committee of the Métis which increased the protection of the Métis’ Land.

This in result made getting Métis’ Land much harder for the government.

1869

Nov 2, 1869, Fort Garry Captured

Louis Riel managed to gather up some troops and take over the Government’s Fort Garry. This gave the Métis’ a source of weapons to fight back if there was a rebellion.

The government lost the weapons from Fort Garry. But they got some evidence that the Métis may be starting or planning a rebellion.

1869

Nov 11, 1869 Lieutenant-Governor William McDougall arrives

Lieutenant – Governor William McDougall’s job was to govern the territory. Instead he got captured and taken away by the Métis. This helped the Métis to protect their territory from the government ruling over their land.

McDougall was unable to govern over the Métis, so they failed to control the Métis’ Land.

1869

Dec 1, 1869 Canada Rules Rupert’s Land

On December 1, Canada was supposed to take control of the HBC's land. But they were steady and unsure about the Métis and did not go with the plan. This meant that the Métis’ land was still owned by HBC, which was good for them to protect your land.

Because of this action, the government failed to take over the Red River settlement.

1870

Jan 1, 1870 Armed Canadians Try To Attack Fort Garry

The Canadians failed to attempt to try to take over For Garry, and were put to jail by Riel. This resulted in another scary attack from the government, but the Métis kept their possession of land. This also took away some Anti-Métis as well.

The Government did not get control of the Métis property, and it was a failed attempt. Some Canadians were caught and put in Riel’s jail.

1870

July 15, 1870 Red River Settlement Named Manitoba

After reaching an agreement of giving the Métis 200000 hectares of land, the Red River area was named Manitoba.

The Canadian Government had lost 200000 hectares of land, but later obtain it again when Manitoba joins confederation in 1912.

1870

July, 1870 Riel Flees to Americas

Riel Flees knowing that it was no longer safe to be in Canada. The Métis’ lost their leader, and all members of the provisional government were treated with forgiveness except for Riel.

The people were very happy that the Government got rid of Riel for good.
