The text describes the resistance organized by the Métis to negotiate their terms of entry into the Confederation, including the formation of a provisional government led by Louis Riel. This resistance, known as the Red River Rebellion, was a response to the Hudson's Bay Company's decision to cede land to the Canadian government for colonization. The Métis faced violence and repression from the Canadian government, resulting in the confusion between the Red River Rebellion and the Northwest Rebellion. The video discussed the history of the Métis and the Red River colony as well as contemporary issues regarding their land and cultural preservation. This rebellion is significant as it marks the 175th anniversary of Louis Riel's birth and the 150th anniversary of the Red River Rebellion, celebrated at a conference in Quebec in 2019.
