The North-West Rebellion,also known as the North-West Resistance,was an armed resistance movement by the Métis under Louis Riel and an associated uprising by Cree and Assiniboine of the District of Saskatchewan,North-West Territories,against the Canadian government. Many Métis felt that Canada was not protecting their rights,their land,and their survival as a distinct people. Fighting broke out in late March,and the conflict ended in June. About 91 people were killed in the fighting that occurred that spring before the conflict ended with the capture of Batoche in May 1885.

The Provisional Government of Saskatchewan was an independent state declared during the North-West Rebellion of 1885 in the District of Saskatchewan of the North-West Territories. It included parts of the present-day Canadian provinces of Alberta,Saskatchewan,and Manitoba. The name was given by Louis Riel. Although Riel initially hoped to rally the Countryborn,Cree,and European settlers of the Saskatchewan Valley to his banner,this did not occur. The government,with the exception of HonoréJaxon and Chief White Cap,had an entirely French-speaking and Métis leadership. Gabriel Dumont was proclaimed adjutant general in which capacity he became supreme military commander,although Riel could,and did,override his tactical decisions. The Provisional Government was declared by Riel on March 19,1885. It ceased to exist following the defeat of the Métis militarily during the Battle of Batoche,which concluded on May 20,1885. During its existence the government only exercised authority over the Southbranch Settlements along the South Saskatchewan River. Other major centres in the area such as Prince Albert,Saskatoon,and most First Nations reserves remained outside of its control.
