The Metis had a right to complain about the sale of Rupert’s Land because their ancestors resided there before the Europeans arrived. There was no race or competition for the land so they did not think of claiming it. Britain can’t sell a land that’s not their’s. Metis were not informed of the sale of Rupert’s Land. Because the Metis did not claim the land, the British though it was theirs. People were taking the Metis’ land and, the British did not care about who lived there first. The Metis were great contributors to the economy, so it was no way fair the way they were treated. This whole issue is unfair to the Metis because no one even though to consult them about the sale of their land.

Modern-day Analogy:

A boy bought a bike, but never used it. His friend wants to ride it, but he the boy doesn’t allow that because he decides to ride it when his friend wanted to ride it as well.
