Louis Riel - The amnesty question.
It was not until September 2 that the new lieutenant-governor Adams George Archibald arrived and set about the establishment of civil government. In the absence of an amnesty, and with the Canadian militia beating and intimidating his sympathisers, Riel fled to the safety of the St. Joseph's mission across the border in the Dakota Territory. However the results of the first provincial election in December 1870 were promising for Riel, as many of his supporters came to power. Nev ...

| | | | Louis Riel: Encyclopedia II - Red River Rebellion - Riel emerges as a leader The fears of the Métis were exacerbated when the Canadian government appointed the notoriously anti-French McDougall as the lieutenant governor-designate on 28 September 1869, in anticipation of a formal transfer to take effect on December 1. It was at this time that the educated Riel began to emerge as a leader, beginning with his denunciation of the survey in a speech delivered in late August from the steps of the Saint-Boniface Cathedral. On October 11, 1869, the work of the survey was disrupted by a group of Métis including Riel. On Oc ...

| | | | Louis Riel: Encyclopedia II - Manitoba - History The geographical area now named Manitoba was originally inhabited by Ojibwa, Cree, Dene, Sioux, and Assiniboine peoples, along with other tribes entering the area to trade. The Whiteshell region, with many petroforms, may have been a trading center, or even a place of learning and sharing of knowledge. The first European to reach present-day Manitoba was Sir Thomas Button, who visited the Nelson River in 1612 and may have reached somewhere along the edge of the prairies. Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, Sieur de la Vérendrye, visited the Red Ri ...

| | | | Louis Riel: Encyclopedia II - Manitoba - Economy
Manitoba - Pre-Confederation.
Manitoba's early economy was one that depended on mobility and living off the land. A number of native tribes that included the Cree, Ojibwa, Dene, Sioux and Assinibone followed herds of bison and congregated to trade among themselves at key meeting places throughout the province.
The first fur-traders entering the province in the 17th century changed the dynamics of the economy of Manitoba forever. For the first time, permanent settlements were created and communties evolved over time. Most of the ...

| | | | Louis Riel: Encyclopedia II - Red River Rebellion - Provisional government Meanwhile in Ottawa, the Governor General Lord Lisgar had, at Macdonald's behest, proclaimed an amnesty on December 6 for all in Red River who would lay down their arms, and dispatched the Abbé Jean-Baptiste Thibault and Charles-René d’Irumberry de Salaberry on a mission of reconciliation. However these emissaries were not granted any special authority to negotiate on behalf of the Government. Macdonald also appointed Hudson's Bay representative Donald Alexander Smit ...

| | | | Louis Riel: Encyclopedia II - Red River Rebellion - Background During the late 1860s, the Red River Settlement was experiencing rapid change. The population had been historically composed mainly of Francophone (Michif-speaking) Métis, along with a minority of English-speaking mixed-bloods known as the "Country born", and a small number of Presbyterian Scottish settlers. However, the colony was seeing a rapid influx of Anglophone Protestants from Ontario. These new settlers were largely insensitive to Métis culture and hostile to Roman Catholicism, and many were advocates of Canadian expansionism. There was also an influx at this time of Ameri ...

Manitoba - Founding of the Legislative Assembly.
The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba was established on July 14, 1870. At that time Manitoba attained full fledged provincial rights and responsibilities of self-government.
Manitoba was unusual in its leap to provincial status. Eastern Canada, Saskatchewan and Alberta all had intervening periods of apprenticeship as territories before becoming provinces. Only British Columbia had circumst ...

| | | | Louis Riel: Encyclopedia II - Red River Rebellion - Canadian resistance and the execution of Scott Despite the apparent progress on the political front and the inclusion of Anglophones within the provisional government, the Canadian contingent was not yet silenced, for on January 9 there was a mass escape from the prison at Fort Garry. Charles Mair, Thomas Scott, and ten others escaped. This was followed on January 23 by the escape of John Schultz. In any case, Riel had by February 15 freed the remaining prisoners after obtaining assurances that they would refrain from engaging in political agitation. However, Schultz, Mair, and Thomas had ...
