The Red River Resistance was the first resistance movement led by Louis Riel. The Métis, or mixed-race people of French and Native American descent, were living in the Red River Valley of present-day Manitoba, Canada. They were concerned about the influx of American settlers and the possibility that the Canadian government would take over their land. Riel led the Métis in a resistance movement that lasted from 1869 to 1870.
