The creation of Manitoba was largely influenced by the Métis people's desire for more say in governance and their concerns about the changes brought by Canadian Confederation. The Red River Resistance, led by Louis Riel and the Métis, aimed to ensure that their rights and land were protected as the new Canadian government took control of the area. While First Nations and French-speaking Canadians were also part of the broader context of the region's history, the immediate push for the creation of Manitoba in 1870 was primarily focused on the rights and governance concerns of the Métis community in the Red River settlement.
