Answer:

The Métis mounted a resistance and declared a provisional government to negotiate terms for entering Confederation

Step-by-step explanation:

The Métis mounted a resistance and declared a provisional government to negotiate terms for entering Confederation. The uprising led to the creation of the province of Manitoba, and the emergence of Métis leader Louis Riel — a hero to his people and many in Quebec, but an outlaw in the eyes of the Canadian government.
