Description:
The Northwest Resistance sought to protect Métis lands in what is today
Saskatchewan, as the railway and settlers moved into western Canada.
Canadians had — and have — different interpretations of this event in
Canadian history. For many Métis, it was a way to assert their rights, like
the Red River Resistance. For others — including Canada’s government at
the time — it was an attempt to overthrow Canada’s authority.
