What was one of the demands faced by the Metis about land during the Red River resistance?

The demand for title to land was a central issue for the Metis during the Red River resistance. This demand stemmed from their concerns over land rights and ownership, particularly as they faced the encroachment of settlers and the government’s plans for the area. The Metis had established their own system of land use, particularly in terms of farming and hunting, and sought formal recognition of their rights to these lands through legal titles.

By demanding title to land, the Metis aimed to ensure their security and preserve their way of life in the face of rapid change brought about by the confederation and the influx of new settlers. This demand highlighted the struggle for recognition and rights that Indigenous and Métis peoples have faced historically, as well as the need for legal acknowledgment of land claims and the impact of colonial policies on their communities.
