Louis Riel has been dead for over 125 years. He was convicted of treason, and was hanged at Regina on November 16, 1885. He is buried in Winnipeg.
Thomas McKay did not prove Louis Riel guilty. Louis Riel was found guilty of treason by a jury for leading the North-West Rebellion in Canada in 1885. McKay was not involved in proving Riel's guilt; instead, the trial was presided over by a judge and jury.
NOTE: Louis Riel did not personally kill Thomas Scott. Scott was executed by firing squad.Thomas Scott was in jail because he was captured while leading an armed force with the intention of overthrowing Riel's government. He was killed because he was the most violent prisoner there and he made death threats to Louis Riel, he escaped and said he would return and kill Louis Riel so Riel killed him because he was afraid that if he didn't Thomas Scott would kill him. While Riel did not reach out and shoot Scott himself he did order it and the reason certainly includes fear. It also includes authority. Riel was a leader selected by some of those who lived in the area to be part of the government representing the citizens.Those who did not recognize that government's authority were threats to the government and people. One of the best ways to assert a government's authority is to use force, to kill people, a right governments had automatically in those days.That Riel had the backing of most of the people in Manitoba was proven when, after Manitoba was made a province, he was elected as an MP even though he was in exile.
Louis Riel ordered the execution of Thomas Scott during the Red River Resistance in 1870 because Scott repeatedly defied Riel's authority and was seen as a threat to the Métis provisional government. Riel believed that by executing Scott, he could send a message to the Canadian government and maintain control over the resistance movement.
The acts which Riel was alleged to have committed took place in what was then Northwest Territories. His arrest took place in Northwest Territories. His trial took place in Northwest Territories. He was found guilty in Northwest Territories. He was sentenced to death by hanging in Northwest Territories. Northwest Territories had jurisdiction over all matters related to Riel's arrest, trial, conviction and execution. Québec had no jurisdiction over any aspect of Riel or Northwest Territories. Therefore, Riel was hanged in Northwest Territories.
Because they were his people, he fought for their language and territory and freedom. His father was the former leader of the metis so louis took over.
He rebelled against the Canadian Party (In which John A Macdonald led). Louis Riel originally took over the Red River Territory, which Canada was to buy from the Hudson Bay Company. But the surveyor's were on the land before December 1 (The official transfer date). Riel escaped to the USA and came back later, to help the Metis people because of being treated poorly from Macdonald and the Canadian Party. He was then caught, and hung in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Louis Riel was tried, convicted, and hanged for treason because of his role in leading the North-West Rebellion in Canada in 1885. The Canadian government saw his actions as a threat to their authority and sovereignty over the region, leading to his arrest, trial, and subsequent execution.
