The Manitoba Land Question, 1870-1882

In an article entitled "Manitoba Land Issues, 1870-1882", Sprague believes that the Federal Government is mainly responsible for failing to properly solve Metsisland's ideas. Sprague considers the Canadian government to carefully manage the MétisLand Organization and manage it to further advance its agenda. He also argued that the Canadian government has not fulfilled its constitutional obligations under the Manitoba State Act. After all, Sprague thought that the newly enacted law opened the doors of the settlers, making it difficult for Metis to maintain unity.

Manitoba State law soon passed the Diet on May 15, 1870, with the consent of the royal family. There is a new state called Manitoba, but that does not include all of the Rupert 's land. There are only small places around the Red River village. Even with this small territory, state governments do not control public land and natural resources, and are still managed by the federal government. In abandoning the management of public land, Article 31 of the Manitoba State Act stipulates that 4 million acres of land subsidies should be allocated to children of mixed family members.

On May 12, 1870, Metis accessed 200 th hectares of land that form Manitoba. This allows Metis to have some form of government with legal authority to hunt freely in his own land, manage the state and protect the rights of Metis. The government has created Manitoba for Metis, but it also allows the government to dominate the state without taking responsibility for any incidents that may occur in the state. Manitoba will become the first state to be established in the Northwest Territory

Citizenship rights lists in Manitoba and Saskatchewan states were rarely adopted by the Canadian Government as Manitoba State Act of May 1870, but Metis was defeated from many Manitoba lands and exiled It was. From the mid-nineteenth to the latter half, Metis protected the grassland land for the attack of Fenia in the United States. It is the responsibility to confirm that French is an official language recognized in Canada (became Manitoba State law).
