Chapter 4: The Red River Rebellion
In the early years of the 19th century (1800s), the Northwest was known only to the Native Peoples, the Metis, and fur traders. In this chapter, we will focus on the heartland area of the fur trade (Rupert’s Land), and follow its development up to 1870 when the province of Manitoba was created. Part I of this Study Guide will focus on the fur trade in the Northwest, and part II will focus on the people and events responsible for the creation of Manitoba.
