politically vs. societally. All issues, either with society or politics, cause damage to the First Nations economic situation creating gaping issues with society such as health issues, famine, sheltering, and education. The political consequences of the Rebellion for the First Nations were burdening starting with the conviction of Poundmaker and Big Bear, continuing the with public hangings of eight First Nations people, and ending with legal shackles meant to keep the people without the ability to fight
Riel rebellions, the executing of Thomas Scott, and going against the Canadian Government, Louis Riel was truly a rebel, who threatened the dominion of Canada. The Riel rebellions showed the government that Riel is a rebel to them, and is not with the Dominion of Canada. The web-site Canada in the Making claims that Riel’s rebellion tactics would work for one rebellion, but would horribly fail in the next one, which would lead the Metis down a bad path. Riel was a leader of two rebellions, the Red
The NWMP: Development of Early Canadian Law Enforcement The creation of the North-West Mounted Police in 1873 was the "ultimate expression of the federal government’s control over policing" (Johnson & Griffiths: 1991, 29). The North-West Mounted Police (NWMP), predecessors of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were created by the government of John A. MacDonald to police the prairies. Prior to the development of the NWMP, the only form of law enforcement came from employees of the Hudson
In the past 30 years, two “Rebellions” have taken place between the Métis and the Government of Canada. I strongly believe that the terminology used to describe the Red River “Rebellion” and North West “Rebellion” is misused and should be modified to correctly represent these events. Due to the nature of these events, the more accurate term to use would be “resistance” as the Métis were strictly defending their rights as human beings. A rebellion is defined as an effort by many people to change the
of the most controversial figures in Canadian history. Does this man who has continued to haunt Canadian history for more than a century after his execution, deserve all of those descriptions? After reading three different interpretations of the rebellions, it is still difficult to decide which is closer to the truth. All three authors retold the Metis history and although they differ on crucial issues, there was agreement on the basic facts. The primary difference amongst the three authors was
he worked briefly in Chicago, Illinois and St. Paul, Minnesota before returning to the Red River Area in 1868. It was after his return that Louis Riel immersed himself into politics, emerging as a leader for the Métis. In 1869, Red River and the North West were to be transferred from the Hudson’s Bay Company to Canadian jurisdiction, so survey crews were sent to Red River. These crews were disrupted by a group of Métis including Riel, who then organized themselves as the “Métis National Committee”
Louis Riel Louis Riel was the first child of Louis Riel Pere and Julie Lagimodière. He was born October 22, 1844 in St. Boniface. His mother was the seventh child of Jean-Baptiste Lagimodière and Marie-Anne Gaboury. Louis Riel Pere had been born at Ile-à-la-Crosse in 1817. He was the son of Jean-Baptiste Riel dit l'Irlande and Marguerite Boucher. Both of Louis Riel's parents were Catholics. Louis Riel spent his childhood on the east bank of the Red River, on the property of his Lagimodière
"We must cherish our inheritance. We must preserve our nationality for the youth of our future. The story should be written down to pass on." (Louis Riel, 1884). Louis Riel, a man of great nature and abiding love for his western Métis heritage, is proven to be one of the most revolutionary men looked upon in the chronicles of the Dominion of Canada. In spite of this, he remains as one of the most controversial and cryptic figures throughout the course of Canadian history, leading to the question
major historical event to tear the relationship into pieces was the Northwest Rebellion. The French Canadians regarded the Northwest Rebellion a noble cause and Louis Riel a hero who stood up to protect the rights of the French-speaking Métis. The English saw the rebellion as a threat to Canada's sovereignty and Riel as a traitor. Louis Riel had taken up residence in the United States after the Red River Rebellion. A delegation traveled to Montana to enlist Riel's help once again to stop the
Malala Yousefzai has done a number of incredible things in order to change the world for her better, and follow her dreams. With everything that is happening in her hometown of Swat in north-west Pakistan, this is a very big deal. Her hometown was taken over by the Taliban, which is an infamous terrorist group.

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has changed in many ways over the course of the last decade. It has changed in terms of design, functionality, and use during that time. An advancement that the public and foreign nationals debate is the legality of using such aircraft when the weapons systems they carry are used to target suspected threat forces across international borders. Specifically in Pakistan, this has been a particularly challenging problem to overcome. It is hard to debate that given the

Malala’s Courageousness for Female Education Many people believe that education is for everyone, however, there is always a group of people that are opposed and want to control things that people can do. For this instance, Malala, a fifteen year old at the time had the mindset of not letting the Taliban bother her. In her biography, I am Malala, by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb, Malala strongly displays her bravery through her speeches and continues to bring awareness even though she knows
Yousafzai exceeds the criteria for an archetypal hero and a heroine. As a young woman of only 18 years, Yousafzai has accomplished feats beyond what most people her age, or even grown adults could imagine. Malala grew up in the “Swat district of north-west Pakistan.” Being that Pakistan contains the second to most children out of school, Malala, by the age of 11, became an advocate for girls obtaining an education. This however, made her an opponent and target of the Taliban; a group of
“I could tell Rashida was smiling, because her eyes crinkled up. She pressed her cheek to mine. We are Shia girls.” (p.97) This is a defining line, which closes out the section “Shia Girls” from Kathleen Jamie’s 2002 book Among Muslims: Every Day Life on the Frontiers of Pakistan. To dive into why this line is so defining right away, would be overwhelming. First, some background information. Jamie (b.1962) is a writer from Edinburgh, Scotland.
