The new generation born from British/Native descent were the Metis or "country born". They are important to Manitoba because at one point they were most of the population and they made Manitoba the way it is today. They set up rights so that the government couldn't fully control us.

The new generation of people that were born British and Native were called the Metis, or the "country born". they were important becuase they brought the two cultures together and made a stand on not caring about race or culture. They made a difference.

The generation born from British/Native decent were the Metis,"country born". They are important to Manitoba because, at one point in time they had the most population. The Metis people and Louis Riel made the bill of rights. They fought along side Riel for their rights and freedoms.

The new generation of people born from British/Native descent called themselves "country born" of "half-breeds". They are important to Manitoba because they aided the Selkirk settlers, they made rights so that the government had boundaries.
