Council of Assiniboia
The Council of Assiniboia was the appointed governing body of the District of Assiniboia, the Red River Settlement in present-day Manitoba, from 1835 to 1870. Chosen by the Hudson's Bay Company and presided over by the governor of Assiniboia, it made laws, organised courts and levied customs duties. Its authority collapsed in 1869 when Louis Riel and the Métis set up a provisional government.
