22 October 1844 – 16 November 1885) was a Canadian politician, a founder of the province of <a href="/wiki/Manitoba" title="Manitoba">Manitoba</a>, and a political leader of the <a href="/wiki/M%C3%A9tis_in_Canada" class="mw-redirect" title="Métis in Canada">Métis</a> people. He led two resistance movements against the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_Canada" title="Government of Canada">Government of Canada</a> and its first prime minister <a href="/wiki/John_A._Macdonald" title="John A. Macdonald">John A. Macdonald</a>. Riel sought to defend Métis rights and identity as the <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Territories" title="Northwest Territories">Northwest Territories</a> came progressively under the Canadian sphere of influence. The first resistance movement led by Riel was the <a href="/wiki/Red_River_Resistance" class="mw-redirect" title="Red River Resistance">Red River Resistance</a> of 1869–1870. The <a href="/wiki/Provisional_government" title="Provisional government">provisional government</a> established by Riel ultimately negotiated the terms under which the new province of Manitoba entered the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Confederation" title="Canadian Confederation">Canadian Confederation</a>. However, while carrying out the resistance, Riel had a Canadian nationalist, <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Scott_(Orangeman)" title="Thomas Scott (Orangeman)">Thomas Scott</a>, executed. Riel soon fled to the United States to escape prosecution. He was elected three times as <a href="/wiki/Member_of_Parliament_(Canada)" title="Member of Parliament (Canada)">member</a> of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_Canada" title="House of Commons of Canada">House of Commons</a>, but, fearing for his life, never took his seat. During these years in exile he came to believe that he was a divinely chosen leader and prophet. He married in 1881 while in exile in the <a href="/wiki/Montana_Territory" title="Montana Territory">Montana Territory</a>. In 1884 Riel was called upon by the Métis leaders in <a href="/wiki/Saskatchewan" title="Saskatchewan">Saskatchewan</a> to help resolve longstanding grievances with the Canadian government. He returned to Canada and led an armed conflict with government forces: the <a href="/wiki/North-West_Rebellion" title="North-West Rebellion">North-West Rebellion</a> of 1885. Defeated at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Batoche" title="Battle of Batoche">Battle of Batoche</a>, Riel was imprisoned in Regina where he was <a href="/wiki/Trial_of_Louis_Riel" title="Trial of Louis Riel">convicted at trial</a> of <a href="/wiki/Treason_Act_1351" title="Treason Act 1351">high treason</a>. Despite protests, popular appeals and the jury's call for clemency, Riel was executed by <a href="/wiki/Hanging" title="Hanging">hanging</a>. Riel was seen as a heroic victim by <a href="/wiki/French_Canadians" title="French Canadians">French Canadians</a>; his execution had a lasting negative impact on Canada, polarizing the new nation along ethno-religious lines. The Métis were marginalized in the Prairie provinces by the increasingly English-dominated majority. A long-term effect of these actions was the bitter alienation felt by <a href="/wiki/Francophones" class="mw-redirect" title="Francophones">Francophones</a> across Canada, and their anger against the repression by their countrymen.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> Riel's historical reputation has long been polarized between portrayals as a dangerous religious fanatic and rebel opposed to the Canadian nation, and, by contrast, as a charismatic leader intent on defending his Métis people from the unfair encroachments by the federal government eager to give Orangemen-dominated Ontario settlers priority access to land. Riel has received among the most formal organizational and academic scrutiny of any figure in Canadian history.<a href="#cite_note-bumsted-1987-2">[2]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Louis_Riel&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:YoungLouisRiel.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/YoungLouisRiel.gif/170px-YoungLouisRiel.gif" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d2/YoungLouisRiel.gif/255px-YoungLouisRiel.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/YoungLouisRiel.gif 2x" data-file-width="267" data-file-height="357" /></a><figcaption>Louis Riel, age 14</figcaption></figure> The <a href="/wiki/Red_River_Colony" title="Red River Colony">Red River Settlement</a> was a <a href="/wiki/Rupert%27s_Land" title="Rupert's Land">Rupert's Land</a> territory administered by the <a href="/wiki/Hudson%27s_Bay_Company" title="Hudson's Bay Company">Hudson's Bay Company</a> (HBC).

His father, who was of Franco-<a href="/wiki/Chipewyan" title="Chipewyan">Chipewyan</a> Métis descent, had gained prominence in this community by organizing a group that supported <a href="/wiki/Guillaume_Sayer" title="Guillaume Sayer">Guillaume Sayer</a>, a Métis arrested and tried for challenging the HBC's historical trade monopoly.<a href="#cite_note-Thomas-1982-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-senior-7">[7]</a> Sayer's eventual release due to agitations by Louis Sr.'s group effectively ended the monopoly, and the name Riel was therefore well known in the Red River area. His mother was the daughter of <a href="/wiki/Jean-Baptiste_Lagimodi%C3%A8re" title="Jean-Baptiste Lagimodière">Jean-Baptiste Lagimodière</a> and <a href="/wiki/Marie-Anne_Gaboury" title="Marie-Anne Gaboury">Marie-Anne Gaboury</a>, one of the earliest White families to settle in Red River in 1812.

For a time, he continued his studies as a day student in the convent of the <a href="/wiki/Grey_Nuns" title="Grey Nuns">Grey Nuns</a>, but was soon asked to leave, following breaches of discipline.<a href="#cite_note-shsba-12">[12]</a> During Riel's period of mourning of his father, he believed that Louis Riel was dead and he himself was David Mordecai, a Jew from Marseilles, and as David, he was not eligible to the immense inheritance of his father (which, in fact, was of little value). Seized with religious fervour, he announced that he was going to form a new religious movement.<a href="#cite_note-markson-14">[14]</a> He remained in Montreal for over a year, living at the home of his aunt, Lucie Riel.

This progressed to the point of Riel having signed a contract of marriage, but his fiancée's family opposed her involvement with a Métis, and the engagement was soon broken. Compounding this disappointment, Riel found legal work unpleasant and, by early 1866, he had resolved to leave <a href="/wiki/Canada_East" title="Canada East">Canada East</a>.<a href="#cite_note-shsba-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Some of his friends said later that he worked odd jobs in <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>, while staying with poet <a href="/wiki/Louis-Honor%C3%A9_Fr%C3%A9chette" title="Louis-Honoré Fréchette">Louis-Honoré Fréchette</a>,<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> and wrote poems himself in the manner of <a href="/wiki/Lamartine" class="mw-redirect" title="Lamartine">Lamartine</a>, and that he was briefly employed as a clerk in <a href="/wiki/Saint_Paul,_Minnesota" title="Saint Paul, Minnesota">Saint Paul, Minnesota</a>, before returning to the Red River settlement on 26 July 1868.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Red_River_Resistance">Red River Resistance</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Louis_Riel&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Red River Resistance">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Red_River_Rebellion" title="Red River Rebellion">Red River Rebellion</a></div> The majority population of the Red River had historically been Métis and First Nations people.

Riel was easily swayed to support their cause. Riel also intended to use the new position of influence to pursue his own land claims in Manitoba.<a href="#cite_note-Thomas-1982-6">[6]</a> Upon his arrival Métis and Anglophone settlers alike formed an initially favourable impression of Riel following a series of speeches in which he advocated moderation and a reasoned approach. During June 1884, the Plains Cree leaders <a href="/wiki/Big_Bear" title="Big Bear">Big Bear</a> and <a href="/wiki/Poundmaker" title="Poundmaker">Poundmaker</a> were independently formulating their complaints, and subsequently held meetings with Riel. However, the Native grievances were quite different from those of the settlers, and nothing was then resolved.<a href="#cite_note-Thomas-1982-6">[6]</a> Honoré Jackson and representatives of other communities set about drafting a petition to be sent to Ottawa. In the interim, Riel's support began to waver. As Riel's religious pronouncements became increasingly heretical the clergy distanced themselves, and father <a href="/wiki/Alexis_Andr%C3%A9" title="Alexis André">Alexis André</a> cautioned Riel against mixing religion and politics. Also, in response to bribes by territorial <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant-governor" class="mw-redirect" title="Lieutenant-governor">lieutenant-governor</a> and Indian commissioner <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Dewdney" title="Edgar Dewdney">Edgar Dewdney</a>, local English-language newspapers adopted an editorial stance critical of Riel.<a href="#cite_note-Thomas-1982-6">[6]</a> Nevertheless, the work continued, and on 16 December Riel forwarded the committee's petition to the government, along with the suggestion that delegates be sent to Ottawa to engage in direct negotiation.

Without a productive course of action, Riel began to engage in obsessive prayer, and was experiencing a significant relapse of his mental agitations. This led to a deterioration in his relationship with the Catholic clergy, as he publicly espoused an increasingly <a href="/wiki/Christian_heresy" class="mw-redirect" title="Christian heresy">heretical</a> doctrine.<a href="#cite_note-Thomas-1982-6">[6]</a> On 11 February 1885, a response to the petition was received. The government proposed to take a census of the North-West Territories, and to form a commission to investigate grievances. This angered a faction of the Métis who saw it as a mere delaying tactic; they favoured taking up arms at once. Riel became the leader of this faction, but he lost the support of almost all Anglophones and Anglo-Métis, and the Catholic Church.<a href="#cite_note-shsba-12">[12]</a> He also lost the support of the Métis faction supporting local leader <a href="/wiki/Charles_Nolin" title="Charles Nolin">Charles Nolin</a>.<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> But Riel, undoubtedly influenced by his messianic delusions,<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> became increasingly supportive of this course of action.

He then received the kiss of peace from both the priests, and Father André exclaimed in French, "Alors, allez au ciel!" meaning "So, go to heaven!"<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a>  ... [Riel's] last words were to say good-bye to Dr. Jukes and thank him for his kindness, and just before the white cap was pulled over his face he said, "Remerciez Madame Forget." meaning "Thank Mrs. Forget".<a href="#cite_note-Boulton-1886-414-73">[73]</a> The cap was pulled down, and while he was praying the trap was pulled. Death was not instantaneous. Louis Riel's pulse ceased four minutes after the trap-door fell and during that time the rope around his neck slowly strangled and choked him to death. The body was to have been interred inside the gallows' enclosure, and the grave was commenced, but an order came from the Lieutenant-Governor to hand the body over to Sheriff Chapleau which was accordingly done that night.<a href="#cite_note-Boulton-1886-414-73">[73]</a></blockquote> Following the execution, Riel's body was returned to his mother's home in <a href="/wiki/St._Vital,_Manitoba" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Vital, Manitoba">St. Vital</a>, where it lay in state.

The execution was both supported and opposed by the provinces. For example, conservative Ontario strongly supported Riel's execution, but Quebec was vehemently opposed to it. Francophones were upset Riel was hanged because they thought his execution was a symbol of Anglophone dominance of Canada. The Orange Irish Protestant element in Ontario had demanded the execution as the punishment for Riel's treason and his execution of Thomas Scott in 1870. In Quebec, the politician <a href="/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_Mercier" title="Honoré Mercier">Honoré Mercier</a> rose to power by mobilizing the opposition in 1886.<a href="#cite_note-Stanley-2013-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a><a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Historiography">Historiography</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Louis_Riel&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Historiography">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Louis_Riel_stamp_Canada_1970.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Louis_Riel_stamp_Canada_1970.jpg/170px-Louis_Riel_stamp_Canada_1970.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="273" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Louis_Riel_stamp_Canada_1970.jpg/255px-Louis_Riel_stamp_Canada_1970.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Louis_Riel_stamp_Canada_1970.jpg/340px-Louis_Riel_stamp_Canada_1970.jpg 2x" data-file-width="409" data-file-height="658" /></a><figcaption>1970 Canada stamp depicting Louis Riel</figcaption></figure> Historians have debated the Riel case so often and so passionately that he is the most written-about person in Canadian history.<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> Interpretations have varied dramatically over time. The first amateur English language histories hailed the triumph of civilization, represented by English-speaking Protestants, over savagery represented by the half-breed Métis who were Catholic and spoke French. Riel was portrayed as an insane traitor and an obstacle to the expansion of Canada to the West.<a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> By the mid-20th century academic historians had dropped the theme of savagery versus civilization, deemphasized the Métis, and focused on Riel, presenting his execution as a major cause of the bitter division in Canada along ethnocultural and geographical lines of religion and language. <a href="/wiki/W._L._Morton" title="W.

Morton</a> says of the execution that it "convulsed the course of national politics for the next decade": it was well received in Ontario, particularly among <a href="/wiki/Orange_Order_in_Canada" title="Orange Order in Canada">Orangemen</a>, but francophone Quebec defended Riel as "the symbol, indeed as a hero of his race".<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> Morton concluded that some of Riel's positions were defensible, but that "they did not present a program of practical substance which the government might have granted without betrayal of its responsibilities".<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> J. M. Bumsted in 2000 said that for Manitoba historian James Jackson, the shooting of Scott—"perhaps the result of Riel's incipient madness—was the great blemish on Riel's achievement, depriving him of his proper role as the father of Manitoba."<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> The Catholic clergy had originally supported the Métis, but reversed themselves when they realized that Riel was leading a heretical movement. They made sure that he was not honored as a martyr.<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> However the clergy lost their influence during the <a href="/wiki/Quiet_Revolution" title="Quiet Revolution">Quiet Revolution</a>, and activists in Quebec found in Riel the perfect hero, with the image now of a freedom fighter who stood up for his people against an oppressive government in the face of widespread racist bigotry. He was made a folk hero by Métis, French Canadian and other Canadian minorities. Activists who espoused violence embraced his image; in the 1960s, the Quebec terrorist group, the <a href="/wiki/Front_de_lib%C3%A9ration_du_Qu%C3%A9bec" title="Front de libération du Québec">Front de libération du Québec</a> adopted the name "Louis Riel" for one of its <a href="/wiki/Terrorist_cell" class="mw-redirect" title="Terrorist cell">terrorist cells</a>.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> Across Canada there emerged a new interpretation of reality in his rebellion, holding that the Métis had major unresolved grievances; that the government was indeed unresponsive; that Riel had chosen violence only as a last resort; and he was given a questionable trial, then executed by a vengeful government.<a href="#cite_note-Flanagan-2000-x-84">[84]</a> John Foster said in 1985 that "the interpretive drift of the last half-century ... has witnessed increasingly shrill though frequently uncritical condemnations of Canadian government culpability and equally uncritical identification with the "victimization" of the "innocent" Métis".<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a> However, political scientist <a href="/wiki/Tom_Flanagan_(political_scientist)" title="Tom Flanagan (political scientist)">Thomas Flanagan</a> reversed his views after editing Riel's writings: he argued that "the Métis grievances were at least partly of their own making", that Riel's violent approach was unnecessary given the government's response to his initial "constitutional agitation", and "that he received a surprisingly fair trial".<a href="#cite_note-Flanagan-2000-x-84">[84]</a> An article by Doug Owram appearing in the Canadian Historical Review in 1982 found that Riel had become "a Canadian folk hero", even "mythical", in English Canada, corresponding with the designation of Batoche as a national historic site and the compilation of his writings.<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> That compilation consisted of three volumes of letters, diaries, and other prose writings; a fourth volume of his poetry; and a fifth volume which contained reference materials.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> Edited by <a href="/wiki/George_Stanley" title="George Stanley">George Stanley</a>, Raymond Huel, Gilles Martel, Thomas Flanagan and Glen Campbell, this work "ma[de] it possible to think comprehensively about Riel's life and his achievements", but was also criticized for some of its editorial decisions.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> In a 2010 speech, <a href="/wiki/Beverley_McLachlin" title="Beverley McLachlin">Beverley McLachlin</a>, then <a href="/wiki/Chief_Justice_of_Canada" title="Chief Justice of Canada">Chief Justice of Canada</a>, summed up Riel as being a rebel by the standards of the time but a patriot "viewed through our modern lens".<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Louis_Riel&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Legacy">edit</a>]</div> The Saskatchewan Métis' requested land grants were all provided by the government by the end of 1887,<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> and the government resurveyed the Métis river lots in accordance with their wishes.<a href="#cite_note-91">[91]</a> However, much of the land was soon bought by speculators who later turned huge profits from it.<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> Riel's worst fears were realized—following the failed rebellion, the French language and Roman Catholic religion faced increasing marginalization in both Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as exemplified by the controversy surrounding the <a href="/wiki/Manitoba_Schools_Question" title="Manitoba Schools Question">Manitoba Schools Question</a>.<a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a> The Métis themselves were increasingly forced to live in shantytowns on undesirable land.<a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> Saskatchewan did not become a province until 1905.<a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a> Riel's execution and Macdonald's refusal to commute his sentence caused lasting discord in Quebec.
