Interesting Canadian history. I'm a American living in Oklahoma and I find Canadian history fascinating. Louis Riel kind reminds me of John Brown, the abolitionist who, in a way, help start the American Civil War.

A comparison can definitely be made, but the vast difference is that Brown was a White man fighting for the human rights of Black people, whereas Riel was fighting for the human rights of his own people.

Thank you so much for your comment, much appreciated and as a Metis person I will give The First Nations 2 thumbs up because your people have built a strong foundation for your people but as a culture such as ours, meaning both cultures that have been in oppression for so long our journey continues. We need to concentrate on working on change within our leaders now and the people we serve. We really need to pull together more.

It is a nice overview in the short time allotted for this presentation. The actual facts are scattered out there, but the history books still do not have it completely right. The fascinating details include his signing of the porchbook at House of Commons although a wanted man. Largely ignored fact is that 1884-5 started as a farmers' protest of both whites including my family and metis in NWT over lack of transportation that narrowed down to an ill planned uprising. It did bring the railroad to the west, albeit not for the settlers, but for Eastern Canada to gain control.

He is a hero that slowed down Canada expansion westward, and potentially could had make united states lot bigger, they would just take Alberta and British Columbia. Thaanks to Riel we could have had American neighbours in the west, loosing all the oil wealth that today help the economy. Do you really think that Americans would spend time listen to metis and natives? Loui Riel is the precursor of those crazy environmentalists and natives who block vital Canadian economic projects, like recently the pipelines of Alberta

Hell prior to the rebellion the railway was running out of funding and support and the death of such a railway project could have lead to some...horrifying results for Canada.

That's what they were fighting for. For a page un the book if Canadian history, and for what? To give it away, with hollow condolences, and Bill's designed to quash dissidents. Everyone here watching for school would do good to realize what the red river rebellion was about. We live under a crown of what? Why still? We need to abolish the crown in this country, it's not theirs, and never was. Has and will be forever Ours! I honour all those who have come before me to shed blood for virtue, and freedoms. Our current govt had zero ethics, zero trust, moral accountability! None. I'm angry, but forced to work, as a slave almost, to dole over 50% of my income to the crown.

I am shocked there is no discussion of the Orangemen's agitation that led to the Metis' conviction and hanging of Thomas Scott during the Red River Resistance (1870). This execution would plague Riel for the rest of his life despite that he did not himself convict Scott. In fact, according to Howard Adams, Riel only gave testimony and advocated for a more lenient sentencing of Scott. Riel would go on to be denied a seat in the House of Commons despite his fair election (he did not simply "leave" as the video states, but the House held a vote to prevent him from attaining his seat), and later was himself hanged for unjust murder charges in connection with the execution of Thomas Scott. It's disappointing that this short film with 250000 views contains misleading facts and omissions.

The execution of Thomas Scott, really was his downfall. It just gave English Ontario (who were controlling things at the time, especially English media) the impetus to go after him. The English / French tension has always been there to this day. Riel also broke the HBC monopoly, which likely upset the English too. Although I am English, I am far more sympathetic to French and especially Native perspectives then my genealogy. Frankly speaking, if the French had won Canada back in 1759.....and been more dominant, I truly believe we’d have better (more balanced) lifestyles and the natives would be more dominant and a stronger voice today. The native residential schools issue would never have happened, among many other anti-native things. The native issue is a continuous event that still has not been corrected right to this minute. My Great grandfather, unfortunately, was part of the ‘police’ that went after Riel. I’m sure he was just following his orders.

The métis représent the nation that should be the model of canadien people wish mean the mariage between européen and native in respect with other cultur. Louis Riel went to collège Breboeuf in Montréal. (If am not wrong). When he was condemned there where tens of thousand people in the streets of Montréal asking to free him. He was consider a lot. Louis Riel did not died alone. Father Richiot was with him trought this tragic and racist murder. Also Riel Nevers demand to kill Scott. A few guys were drunk and killed Scott. Riel had nothing to do with that murder. Merci monsieur Pearson pour votre commentaire. It make me feel good to see that there are a few people like you in english Canada Who have a sens of justice .

That said, It’s one of the hardest things with history is to read between the lines (not always possible) to get a true sense of what really happen. Of course, history is typically written by the victors. (history becomes a lie) What a beautiful thing, can you imagine actually knowing the truth about all history and what really happened……?

Hope Springs eternal in a democracy (vote) unfortunately for the minority population provinces with no equality, it is eternally hopeless. Colonialism by population is what canada is. When ON/QU has 66% of the population it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of city states. These truths we hold as self evident for all humananity. Unfortunately canada is still a class based political system and doesn't hold these truths as self evident. Hereditary chiefs is the believe that your mother had a magical womb and you are somehow better than other humans just because of the supports and circumstances the elites were raised in.

My greatgrandfather paid for his college education that he never finished. My greatuncle, the third man to join the NWMP and the most famous, fought him and was there at his capture and hanging. This great grandfather wrote to Sir john A. asking for clemency for Riel, to which he gave his famous reply, "He shall hang though every dog in Quecbe, bark in his favour>" So our family can truely say,we got Riel coming and going.

Strange at the time, he had little support. Could only raise a few hundred out of thousands. If he had the support he would won. He caused the unnecessary death of many first nations and Metis and himself. Now a legend apparently. After he had an innocent man summarily executed he shouldn't have expected leniency

I'm not sure how you justify exonerating him when he was publicly, obviously, and unashamedly guilty of treason. It would be perfectly justified to pardon him on the grounds that he rebelled for a good cause, but exonerating him would just be a lie.

Yeah. That really was his downfall. It just gave English Ontario (who were controlling things at the time, especially English media) the impetus to go after him. The English / French tension has always been there to this day. Although I am English, I am far more sympathetic to French and especially Native perspectives then my genealogy. Frankly speaking, if the French had won Canada back in 1759.....and been more dominant, I truly believe we’d have better lifestyles today, and the natives would be more dominant and a strong voice (rightly so) today. The native residential schools issue would never have happened, among many other anti-native things. My Great grandfather, unfortunately, was part of the ‘police’ that when after Riel. I’m sure he was just following his orders.

@@alexpearson8481 Thank you for your thoughtful reply. That's an interesting take on how Canada would have fared if France won the French-Indian War. I also like to entertain counter-factual narratives. For instance, I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Napoleon had been victorious at Waterloo. Because my family is from India, I had a slight anti-British bias (which I have since discarded). Good for you for looking past your genealogy and seeing things from the other side. As for your great-grandfather, he truly was just doing his duty. And, in fairness, the execution of Scott was probably a valid reason to go after Riel. When we remember him and exonerate him of his crime, we are really using our hearts. Objectively speaking, he was guilty. But a solid man nonetheless. Thank you again for the reply.
