Pembina (North Dakota) is located on the Red River just south of the 49th parallel. It is the former centre of the Metis territory. Once it was identified that Pembina was in the United States, many of the Metis migrated north to St. Boniface, St. Vital, St. François Xavier and Fond du Lac (now St. Laurent). The first fur trading post was established at Pembina in 1797.
The 1869-70 uprising in the Red River Colony (Red River Rebellion or Red River Resistance) was incited by the transfer of the territory of Rupert's Land to Canada. The colony's Métis feared for their culture and land rights under Canadian control. The Métis organised a rebellion (resistance) and declared a provisional government to negotiate terms for entering Confederation.
The Red River cart was first used by the Métis to carry meat from the buffalo hunt and in farm work. Later, they would be used in brigades to transport goods over long distances.
