Editing Suggestions: Peer Assessment (HIST 3758)
Hello friends !

You have a good start to the edits on the original page. Lots of good information was added to the head of the article, including key information about where the proclamation effected, i.e., the Red River Colony.

When it comes to adding to the article, you have a big job ahead of you. The article currently doesn’t touch extensively on the impact of the Proclamation on the community, as well as a more detailed outline of the origins of the Proclamation. There’s no mention of how this led to the Seven Oaks Massacre (except in the see more part, which can absolutely be elaborated on).

When adding information to the article, consider the following topics to gather information on.

- Macdonell’s motivation to the decree($$), his role with the HBC and Lord Selkirk. - The Metis and their relationship with the NWC - Other proclamations made “targeting” the Metis (ex. the “running of the buffalo” horse ban) - Metis action after the Proclamation (reaction to the blockades, rising tensions, resistance) - Macdonell’s trial in response to the illegal ban - Seven Oaks Massacre connection - Why was pemmican such a desirable resource to limit?
