The Métis people had a way of life that incorporated both French-Canadian and Native cultures. This could explain why they were called the ‘Métis’, which came from the French word for ‘mixed’. During the height of the fur trade in the 1700s and 1800s, many French-Canadian fur traders married Native women, mainly Cree, Ojibwa, or Saulteaux women. Most fur traders were French and Catholic. Their children, the Métis, were exposed to the Catholic and Native belief systems.
Today: they are an officially recognized aboriginal group of both European and Aboriginal ancestry. Considered ‘Indian’ according to Canadian Constitution (they are a federal responsibility). Approximately 700, 000 Métis in Canada, granted full Indigenous rights by Supreme Court in 2016

Louis Riel was a Canadian politician, a founder of Manitoba, and a political leader of the Métis people in the prairies. Riel sought to preserve Métis rights and culture as their homelands in the Northwest came under the Canadian sphere of influence. He has been made a folk hero by the Francophones, the Catholic nationalists and the native rights. His first resistance was the Red River Rebellion of 1869–1870. The provisional government established by Riel negotiated the terms under which the modern province of Manitoba entered the Canadian Confederation. Riel ordered the execution of Thomas Scott, and fled to the United States to escape prosecution. Despite this, he is referred to as the “Father of Manitoba”.
