Riel was charged with high treason following continued unrest among the Metis tribes in Manitoba. He was found guilty and hanged on November 16, 1885.

Contemporaries of Riel, including at least one member of the jury that convicted him, held him responsible for the 1870 execution of pro-Canadian settler Thomas Scott, who had opposed the Red River Rebellion led by Riel.
