| Metis Economic Activity Post-Resistance / Post-1870 and Post-1885 |
Following the Red River (1870) and Riel Resistances (1885), an increased number of Metis individuals became alienated from their land and were forced to make a meagre living on road allowances or unoccupied settler land. This was in part the intent of the government as a form of retaliation for the efforts of the Metis in assertion of land rights and self-determination. |
