About me / Bio:
Louis Riel was a Canadian politician, a founder of the province of Manitoba, and a political leader of the Métis people. He led two resistance movements against the Government of Canada and its first prime minister, John A. Macdonald, seeking to defend Métis rights and identity as the Northwest Territories came under Canadian influence. Riel's leadership in the Red River Resistance of 1869–1870 led to the establishment of Manitoba. His role in the North-West Rebellion of 1885 resulted in his execution for high treason. Despite his controversial actions, Riel is often celebrated as a heroic victim who fought for his people's rights and is recognized as a Father of Confederation.
