What did the Metis want Louis Riel to do in 1885?

In 1885, the Métis wanted Louis Riel to lead them in their struggle for rights and recognition in Canada, particularly concerning land claims and self-governance. They sought Riel's leadership to address grievances stemming from the encroachment of settlers and the federal government's failure to fulfill promises made during the Red River Settlement. Riel's return from exile was seen as a pivotal moment for rallying the Métis to assert their identity and demands for justice.
