Red River Insurrection: William McDougall¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s Conduct Reviewed is a historical book written by William McDougall in 1870. The book is a critical analysis of McDougall¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s own conduct during the Red River Rebellion, which took place in 1869-1870 in what is now Manitoba, Canada. The Red River Rebellion was a conflict between the M¿¿¿¿¿tis people, who were of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry, and the Canadian government. McDougall was a politician who was appointed as the Lieutenant Governor of the Northwest Territories by the Canadian government during this time. However, his arrival in the area was met with resistance from the M¿¿¿¿¿tis, who saw his appointment as a threat to their autonomy.In the book, McDougall reflects on his actions and decisions during the rebellion, including his attempts to establish a government in the region and his interactions with the M¿¿¿¿¿tis leaders, such as Louis Riel. He also addresses criticisms of his conduct, particularly his lack of understanding of the M¿¿¿¿¿tis culture and his failure to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict.Overall, Red River Insurrection: William McDougall¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s Conduct Reviewed provides a unique perspective on a significant event in Canadian history and offers insight into the complexities of colonialism and Indigenous relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Kayans believe themselves to be surrounded by many intelligent powers capable of influencing their welfare for good or ill. Some of these are embodied in animals or plants, or are closely connected with other natural objects, such as mountains, rocks, rivers, caves; or manifest themselves in such processes as thunder, storm, and disease, the growth of the crops and disasters of various kinds.
