Notes

A scholarly study of the social and cultural divisions within the Red River settlement leading up to the resistance of 1869–70. Drawing on extensive research in church, commercial, and government records, Pannekoek examines the relationships among the French Métis, English-speaking Metis, missionaries, and colonial elites. He argues that the Riel Resistance arose less from a unified opposition to Canadian expansion than from long-standing sectarian, racial, and cultural tensions within the community itself.
