The Red River Resistance was an initiative spearheaded by Louis Riel and the Red River Colony, most of the members being Métis. The Resistance disagreed with the Hudson’s Bay Company selling Rupert’s Land to the Canadian Government because it was not theirs (HBC’s) to sell. This blog post looks at Hugh John Macdonald’s involvement in both the Wolseley Expedition of 1870 and the North-West Rebellion of 1885, which set out to dominate the Métis and their Indigenous and European heritage.
