The right of people in Western Canada to have representation or at least a say in their colonization by Canada.
he was known best as a hero. He stood up for those who could not stand up for themselves (i.e. French-speaking people) he was executed for "treason" which in my opinion is wrong!Hope it helps!he was queer
Louis stood up to a colonizing Canada and swung at the end of rope for it.
the red river colony
Because he was already part french, so the quebec people decided to stick up for him
Louis Riel had 2 children. One was a boy and one was a girl. The girl died at a very young age, and the boy grew up, but never had children. The girl's name was Angelique and the boy's name was Beau.
Louis Riel was a Métis political leader who led two resistance movements against the Canadian government. While he was tried and executed for treason, his actions were rooted in the defense of Métis rights and autonomy rather than criminal behavior. Riel is now recognized as a key figure in Canadian history for his advocacy of Métis rights.
I think that Louis Riel was both a hero and a traitor becuase to some people he was a hero but for others he was a triator .__________________Riel is both a hero and a traitor.To Canada Riel is a traitor, a criminal, a murderous villain. Riel stood up for the rights of those who lived in and had rightful claim to, lands Canada bought from the Hudson Bay Company. Lands Canada wanted everyone to think of as empty of people.To many in the lands colonised by Canada Riel is a hero for standing up against Canada, standing up for the rights of the little guy against a violent colonizer.To many in Quebec he is a hero because he was French and stood up to an English Canada, an Ontario Canada.
Louis Riel was the reason Manitoba was created. The metis were being treated unfairly so Louis Riel made a petition to make this happen and surprisingly it happened. Although it couldn't just happen instantly, it took alot of courage to make this happen, you needed to get a petition started and create a list of rights for the province and the people that will live in it like all provinces. Although it wasn't a very big piece of land, the metis and other people still appreciated it. anonymous.
Because he stood up against Canadian rule and created an important part of Western Canadian history.
he fought for the freedom of the Metis. ---------------------- Riel did little to nothing good for Canada. He exposed the myth that the North and West lands Canada bought and colonised were empty of people. He also showed that Canada was just as capable of the violence of the British Empire when they sent troops into what is today Western Canada and used force and massive immigration to advance their colonisation cause.
The best brief description of Louis Riel is "clever but unbalanced." Riel's sanity during the so-called Red River Rebellion (the formation of the provisional government in 1868-70) is questionable. His legal analysis of the situation which led to the formation of the provisional government, however, was quite sound. There is little doubt among historians concerning the period during which he led the North West Rebellion of 1885. Riel was then clearly not sane.
When they were sold to Canada the Red River Colony did not have a government with which to carry on negotiations with those wanting to rule them. Riel was one of many who stood up and helped set up a provisional government to represent the locals.
