Louis Riel
Louis "David" Riel is a Canadian politician, the founder of the province of Manitoba and the political leader of the Métis people of the Northwest Territories before Manitoba. He led two resistance movements against the Canadian government and its first prime minister, John A. Macdonald. Riel sought to protect Métis rights and identity as the Northwest gradually fell under Canadian influence. The first resistance movement led by Riel today is called the Red River Rebellion 1869–70. The interim government established by Riel ultimately negotiated the terms on which the province of Manitoba would simply join the Federation of Canada. Riel ordered Thomas Scott's execution and fled to the United States to escape prosecution. He was elected three times to the House of Representatives, but fearing for his life, he could never take his seat.
