History

The people autochtones of Manitoba are the Ojibwa S and Assiniboine S. the first European to reach current Manitoba was Thomas Button, which visited the Nelson river in 1612. Pierre Gaultier of Varennes, Sieur of Vérendrye visited the valley of the Rouge river in the years 1730, thus opening the way with exploration and French colonization founded on the draft of the furs. An important population of French-speaking people (the Franco-Manitobains ) always remains, especially in the Saint-Boniface district, in Winnipeg.

1738: Vérendrye reaches the current site of Saint-Boniface. Delicatessens and travellers Canadian-French coming from the Low-Canada use the road traced by Vérendrye to go in the Canadian West. Many travellers, become free men , will elect residence in the West, with their Amerindian wife, thus giving rise to new people, the Mongrels of the Canadian West. The territory falls to the hands from the British in 1763 at the time of the Seven Year old Guerre and became part of the Ground of Rupert, territory gigantic of monopoly of the Compagnie of Hudson Bay.

1812: The first colonists Scot and Irishmen recruited by Lord Selkirk arrive at the Fork.

Starting from the foundation of the first village of farmers, in 1811, by Lord Selkirk, a conflict makes rage between the white colonists and the Métis which live there and which made trade with the Compagnie of the North-West, competitor of the Corporation of Hudson Bay of Lord Selkirk. In 1816, a battle caused by the colonists causes the death of 20 colonists, killed by the Mongrels, of which the governor; the British government cleared the Mongrels. The result of this conflict is the fusion of the two companies, required by the British government to put an end to violences.

1822: Creation of the Council of Assiniboia, a local government set up by the Company of Hudson Bay to help the governor of the company to manage the Colony of the River-Red. The Council has primarily legal functions.

1835: The Council of Assiniboia is metamorphosed in legislative and executive assembly. To assure the application of the laws and to facilitate the operation of the administration, the council creates committees, constitutes courts and organizes a police force. Several French-speaking people, Canadians and Mongrel, have to exert various functions in the magistrature and the police force.

During the transfer of the ground of Rupert in Canada in 1869 (it will become the Territoires of the North-West), a lack of attention to the mongrel interests carried out the mongrel chief Louis Riel to establish a provisional government. Delegates of the government of Riel entered into negotiation with the Canadian government, which led to the entry in the confederation of the province of Manitoba in 1870 ( Loi on Manitoba ).

In the beginning, the territory of the province did not extend that on 1/18 from its current size - it was known like “the province postage stamp”. She believed gradually by absorbing parts of the Territories of the North-West until reaching her current size while arriving at the sixtieth parallel northern in 1912.
