Western Expansion of Canada
The expansion and development of Canada during the 1870’s and 1880’s there were 3 main groups (The Metis, Ontario settlers and the First Nations.) They were each empowered or disempowered in their own way.
I think that the Metis were disempowered. The Canadian government took away the their land to give to the settlers, and all the government would give them was 560 000 hectares which when you think about it is not a lot compared to what they had. Even though they got 560 000 hectares it took the government 10 years for the government to give it to them, which is another reason why they were disempowered. Another reason is their elected member of parliament
(Louis Riel) was exiled from canada for 5 years.
