Louis Riel was convicted of treason and sentenced to death.
Louis Riel Murdered Thomas Scott. ======================== Louis Riel did not murder Thomas Scott. In fact, Riel did not kill anyone. Louis Riel was convicted of treason and was hanged in Regina, Northwest Territories, on November 16, 1885. (Regina is now the capital of the Province of Saskatchewan.) Riel is the only person in Canada's history to have been executed for the crime of treason.
Louis Riel fought for the Metis rights
Thomas Scott threatened to kill Louis Riel, which led Thomas to be killed.
Louis Riel is considered by many to have been a good leader because he stood firmly for what he believed in, but was also willing to compromise. Riel founded the province of Manitoba, and was a strong advocate for the Metis people, an aboriginal group in Canada.
because he was a traitor

Louis riel was a traitor because: 1. He executed Thomas Scott 2. he fled to the USA when the Metis needed him most 3. he rebelled against the government illegally. 4. he betrayed his country after the rebellion failed. 5. he almost destroyed the Metis community 6. he went crazy - with religion and the Metis community. 7. he expected that everyone would listen to him. Those are some reasons Louis Riel was a traitor.
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.
it depends on your perspective. if you're on the English side, then Louis riel was a pest. if you're on the french side, then Louis riel was a great hero who defended their rights.
Although Louis Riel was convicted of High Treason, in the opinion of many Canadians he was definitely not a traitor. He led a movement attempting to assert the rights of the people of mixed European and aboriginal descent in what is now the province of Manitoba against the incursions of the Canadian government. This resulted in some battles with Canadian military and police personnel, and some deaths. However, it cannot be clearly stated that Riel's actions were unjustifiable, making him a traitor.
He was known as a hero to the metis because he stood up for them and there rights. He was known as a traitor to the government because he went against them by helping the Metis
Riel Paley's birth name is Sky Matthew Riel Paley.
