William McDougall (1822-1905) was a Canadian politician who was appointed as the lieutenant-governor of Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory in September 1869. He held that position until Manitoba became a province in 1870.Additional information:General note:The Red River Resistance (or Red River Rebellion) was an uprising in the Red River Settlement in 1869. It was sparked by the Hudson's Bay Company's sale of Rupert's Land to the newly formed Dominion of Canada, a sale which Indigenous peoples saw as illegitimate. The Métis, led by Louis Riel, mounted a resistance and formed a provisional government to negotiate with the Dominion of Canada. The resistance led to the entry of Manitoba into Confederation.Related material:For an original copy of the declaration by the People of Rupert's Land and the North West, see the William McDougall fonds (R4506), e000009388.Varying form of title:Source:GovernmentFormer archival reference no.:RG6-C-1 -
