Signatura | |
Louis David Riel (22 d'octubre de 1844 – 16 de novembre de 1885, per execució) va ser un polític canadenc i el fundador de la província de Manitoba. Pertanyia a l'ètnia dels métis.[1] Va dirigir la Rebel·lió del riu Red (1869-1870). Riel cercava preservar els drets i la cultura dels metis. Riel ha rebut més atenció dels intel·lectuals que cap altre figura en la història canadenca.[2] Va fundar un govern provisional el qual va negociar l'entrada de Manitoba a la Confederació canadenca.[3] Riel ordenà l'execució de Thomas Scott, i fugí als Estats Units.[4] Mentre estava a l'exili va ser elegit tres vegades a la cambra House of Commons of Canada, malgrat que mai va ocupar l'escó.
El primer ministre del Canadà MacDonald decidí portar-lo a la forca a causa de la rebel·lió que Riel també dirigí al Saskatchewan.[5]
