	Red River of the North - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was a key river in the early settlement of Canada, notably being home to the Red River Colony that later became Winnipeg.
		In the United States it is called the Red River of the North, to distinguish it from another Red River (a tributary of the Mississippi River that forms part of the border between Texas and Oklahoma).
		The Red River famously flooded in April 1997, causing $2 billion USD in damage to Grand Forks, North Dakota.

	Red River Colony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Red River Colony (or Selkirk Settlement) was a colonization project set up by Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk in 1811 on 300,000 km² of land granted to him by the Hudson's Bay Company under what is referred to as the Selkirk Concession.
		The colony was never very successful, but changes during the development of Canada in the 1800s led to the colony forming the basis of what is today Manitoba.
		With a colony in place the Métis trappers supplying the North West's fur traders, the Nor'Westers, would be displaced, cutting them off from areas further west.

		The Red River Colony was a colonization project set up by Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk in 1811 on 300,000 square kilometres of land granted to him by the Hudson Bay Company.
		At the time, social upheaval in Scotland due to the introduction of sheep farming had left a number of Scots destitute, and Selkirk was interested in giving them a "better life" in a new colony he called Assiniboia[?].
		The colony was never particularily successful agriculturally, but the lure of free land added new settlers every year.

	Red Lake History
		Red Lake County, the mecca of home seekers, the brightest star in that terrestrial milky way known as the Red River Valley, though the youngest county in the state in point of years, is old in its battle, not for existence, but for their right to exist.
		Red Lake stock went down out of sight, and when the battle ended the county division bill was buried beneath one hundred and sixty others that failed to pass.
		Red Lake County has become a bright and shining mark upon the map, and the visions of prosperity which seemed but dreams to the rebels of 1886 have become a glorified reality to the patriots of 1901.

		Since the Metis who built the Red River parishes were hated for their religion, as well as for their language and manners, there was not much co-operation possible between the french-catholic Metis and the new Canadian settlers, when important matters of land and power were being decided.
		In light of that situation, the Metis of the Red River settlements elected themselves a democratic and legally constituted provisional government in the form of a legislative assembly, and declared themselves in control of their own homeland.
		The Red River Metis may have been established for generations, but fifteen years later, having emigrated to the Saskatchewan, the Metis were new settlers, who had to compete for raw landholdings with other settlers coming into the country since the 1870's.
