After the Red River Rebellion, the Métis moved westward from Manitoba to Saskatchewan, seeking to distance themselves from English settlers despite being allowed to stay. They enjoyed 15 years of peace, dividing land to ensure food sufficiency, but overhunting of bison led to the North-West Rebellion.
I think that instead of the fight, the government should have let the metis know about the train ahead of time, so they could have prevented the rebellion in the future. or maybe they could have ask to go though the metis land

The Event that's happened
Why did this "trouble" happen - The uprising was sparked by the transfer of the vast territory of Rupert’s Land to the new Province of Canada.

What happened with
The taking of Fort Garry - Nault protested the intrusion and called his cousin Louis Riel. On November 2, Riel set out with a group of 120 armed men for Fort Garry. The centre of the region. With no troops to support him, William MacTavish the governor of Rupert's Land, watched as Louis took over the fort.
The surveyors - McDougall sent out a team of surveyors to plot the land according to the square township system used in the Public train System. The Métis, led by Riel, prevented McDougall from entering the territory.
Mcdougall - With or without McDougall, the western lands would have been acquired and Canada still would have expanded westward. He was sick most of the time and grumpy the rest, leaving so much of the work to Sir George-Étienne Cartier. He died on May 29, 1905, due to a spine Injury caused by walking off a moving train. So really this guy was no help
