Document Summary
Dislikes them greatly due to racist interested. Pretty happy when he drove them off of their land. Seems happy at the hudson"s bay company stealing the north-west company, who work with the metis. Mini trade war going on with the while settlers (hudson"s bay company) and the metis (the north-west company) Didn"t honor the dead of the metis, didn"t bury their remains, and let them be eaten by wild dogs, and other wild animals. Metis cheered when the 19th were slaughtered (metis and north-west company open fired on traders from the hudson"s bay company) Sees the metis, who he doesn"t value, doing other things that he doesn"t value, which makes him devalue the metis even more. Makes his side of the story seem like his side did nothing wrong, and that the other side was hot headed. Other side is greatly incompetent against the metis, and that the fight was solely on the back of the governor.
