Why was Louis Riel upset with the Canadian government?

Louis Riel was upset with the Canadian government primarily due to its failure to address the rights and concerns of the Métis people regarding land, culture, and governance. The government's encroachment on Métis lands and its lack of recognition for their legal rights fueled Riel's frustration. He felt that the Canadian government's policies marginalized the Métis, leading him to lead resistance efforts, including the Red River and North-West Rebellions, in an attempt to secure their rights and autonomy. Riel viewed himself as a defender of his people's interests against a government that ignored their needs.
