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
Mtis 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:
Dat

Red River Valley.

Consequence for
Government
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.

Ruperts Land
186
Sold, Jan 22,
9
1869

The government buying Ruperts Land

ended up making the Mtis not to be
even allowed to be in their land, Ruperts
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.

186 Louis Riel
9
Stops
Surveyors

Because Louis Riel had stepped onto the

surveyors chains, the surveyors did not
intrude in the Mtis 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.

Oct 18, 1869

186 National
9
committee of
the Mtis

Riel wanted to protect the Mtis land

from the government, so he formed the
National committee of the Mtis which
increased the protection of the Mtis
Land.

This in result made getting

Mtis Land much harder for
the government.

Nov 2, 1869,
186
Fort Garry
9
Captured

Louis Riel managed to gather up some

troops and take over the Governments
Fort Garry. This gave the Mtis 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 Mtis may be
starting or planning a
rebellion.

LieutenantGovernor
William
McDougall

Lieutenant Governor William

McDougalls job was to govern the
territory. Instead he got captured and
taken away by the Mtis. This helped the
Mtis to protect their territory from the
government ruling over their land.

McDougall was unable to

govern over the Mtis, so
they failed to control the
Mtis Land.

Ruperts Land

On December 1, Canada was supposed

to take control of the HBC's land. But
they were steady and unsure about the
Mtis and did not go with the plan. This
meant that the Mtis 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.

Jan 1, 1870
Armed
187
Canadians Try
0
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
Mtis kept their possession of land. This
also took away some Anti-Mtis as well.

The Government did not get

control of the Mtis
property, and it was a failed
attempt. Some Canadians
were caught and put in
Riels jail.
