Louis Riel was a Canadian political and spiritual leader of the Métis people, best known for his role in the Red River and North-West Rebellions. He initially led the Red River Rebellion in 1869-70, which resulted in the creation of Manitoba as a province and the establishment of rights for the Métis. However, after a period of exile in the United States, Riel returned and led the North-West Rebellion in 1885, which ultimately failed. He was captured, tried for treason, and executed, becoming a controversial figure in Canadian history and a symbol of Métis rights.
