The North-West Rebellion was a conflict that took place in 1885 in what is now Saskatchewan, Canada. It was primarily led by the Métis people, under the leadership of Louis Riel, who sought to address grievances related to land rights and cultural recognition. The rebellion aimed to establish a new government that would better represent the interests of the Métis and other Indigenous groups. The uprising began with a series of skirmishes and culminated in the Battle of Batoche. The Canadian government responded with military force, ultimately defeating the rebels. The aftermath of the rebellion led to significant changes in Canadian policies regarding Indigenous peoples and their rights.
