The Riel Rebellions were one of the darkests parts of Canadian history. A proud Aboriginal people, the Metis, were pushed to the edge, and fought back.
There were many after effects of these conflicts. The first was the completion of the Inter-Continental Railway, to link Canada, providing a demarcation of the Canadian border, the influence of the North-West Mounted Police and the beginnings of the Indian Residential school system.
