    Manifest Destiny

    The term Manifest Destiny was first used in 1845 by New York City journalist John Louis O’Sullivan. He used the term in the context of America’s annexation of the Republic of Texas. Manifest Destiny represented the idea that it was America’s right — its destiny, in fact — to expand across all of North America. Politicians and citizens in the United States called for the US to expand by claiming control of British territory. This included the Province of Canada (formerly Upper Canada and Lower Canada), New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

    Manitoba Act

    The Manitoba Act provided for the admission of Manitoba as Canada’s fifth province. It received royal assent and became law on 12 May 1870. It marked the legal resolution of the struggle for self-determination between people of the Red River Colony and the federal government, which began with Canada’s purchase of Rupert’s Land in 1870. The Act contained protections for the region’s Métis. However, these protections were not fully realized. As a result, many Métis left the province for the North-West Territories.

    Manitoba and Confederation

    Canada’s fifth province, Manitoba entered Confederation with the passing of the Manitoba Act on 12 May 1870. The Assiniboine, Dakota, Cree and Dene peoples had occupied the land for up to 15,000 years. Since 1670, it was part of Rupert’s Land and was controlled by the Hudson’s Bay Company. The Canadian government purchased Rupert’s Land at the behest of William McDougall, Manitoba’s Father of Confederation. No residents of the area were consulted about the transfer; in response, Louis Riel and the Métis led the Red River Resistance. It resulted in an agreement to join Confederation. Ottawa agreed to help fund the new provincial government, give roughly 1.4 million acres of land to the Métis, and grant the province four seats in Parliament. However, Canada mismanaged its promise to guarantee the Métis their land rights. The resulting North-West Resistance in 1885 led to the execution of Riel. The creation of Manitoba — which, unlike the first four provinces, did not control its natural resources — revealed Ottawa’s desire to control western development.

The MMF provides a range of services and programs. It seeks to support cultural preservation, education, economic development, health, housing, and child and family services. As the government of the Red River Métis, the MMF adopts laws. It also represents its citizens in dealings with provincial, federal and international governments.

    Manitoulin Island Treaty 1836

    On 9 August 1836, the Odawa and Ojibwe signed the Manitoulin Island Treaty. This treaty is also referred to as Treaty 45 or the Bond Head Treaty. In signing the document, both the Odawa and Ojibwe agreed to Sir Francis Bond Head’s requested proposal that they would “relinquish [their] respective Claims to these Islands, and make them the Property (under your Great Father's control) of all Indians whom he shall allow to reside on them?” The Manitoulin Island Treaty formed part of Head’s efforts to open more lands for settlement. Part of this included relocating First Nations people in Upper Canada to Manitoulin Island (see also First Nations in Ontario). It also served to remove and isolate First Nations people. Head argued this was meant to allow for their “civilization” or “extinction” away from the negative influences of settlers.

    Manitoulin Island Treaty 1862

    The Manitoulin Island Treaty of 1862 was signed on 6 October 1862. The treaty sought to open approximately 23,000 islands within the Manitoulin Island chain for European Canadian settlement and resource extraction. It is also known as the McDougall Treaty or Treaty 94. The document saw the creation of five reserves under the treaty terms. The people residing on Manitoulin Island’s eastern peninsula refused to participate in the treaty process. This refusal led to Wiikwemkoong’s lands remaining unceded (see Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory). As a result, those lands are governed by the terms of the 1836 Manitoulin Island Treaty.
