Louis Riel was a pivotal figure in Canadian history, known for his role in the Red River and North-West Rebellions. In 1869, he led the Red River Rebellion, advocating for the rights of the Métis people and negotiating the terms of Manitoba's entry into Canada. After a period of exile, he returned to lead the North-West Rebellion in 1885, which ultimately resulted in his capture and trial. Riel was executed for treason, becoming a symbol of Métis rights and Canadian nationalism.
