The development of the country, as we know it today, was an evolutionary process over more than eight decades. Manitoba became a province after some controversial events involving the federal government and the Mtis, French-speaking descendants of French fur traders who married American Indian girls. This ethnic group settled near Fort Gary, the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba what is called today.
正如我们今天所知道的那样,这个国家在80多年里不断发展演进。在几次涉及联邦政府和梅蒂斯人的有争议的事件之后,马尼托巴成为加拿大的一个省。梅蒂斯人是美洲印第安女孩与法国毛皮贸易商的后裔,讲法语。这个族群定居在加里要塞附近的温尼伯城,即今马尼托巴。
John A. Macdonald, the new and first Prime Minister of the new nation, made a deal with the western-most colony in Vancouver guaranteeing on the building of a railroad from the east to the west if that colony would join Canadian Confederation. The property of the Mtis, to which the letter felt legally entitled, was in the path of the new railway. The federal government essentially took the land. The Mtis were compelled to move further west, but not without a fight. . The federal government was able to defeat the Mtis in both clashes. Louis Riel, the leader of the Mtis was hanged for treason in 1885 for his leading role in resisting the federal government. He became a martyr to French-Canadians. His death only added fuel to the growing discontent between French and English Canada.
