What were the events that led up to the north west rebellion of 1885?

The North-West Rebellion of 1885 was primarily fueled by discontent among the Métis and Indigenous populations in the Canadian Prairies, who faced encroachment on their lands and diminishing resources due to increasing settlement and government policies. Tensions escalated as the Canadian government failed to address their grievances regarding land rights and promised support. The situation worsened when Louis Riel, a Métis leader, returned from exile and rallied the Métis to resist the government's actions. This culminated in a series of confrontations, including the establishment of a provisional government by Riel and ultimately leading to armed conflict with federal forces.
