...LOUIS RIEL Louis Riel; An Inspiring leader, or a rebelling murderer? I firmly believe that Riel was a good person. He stood for what he believed, was voted president of the metis, and helped form the province of Manitoba. Because of his rebellion to Canada, Riel had a price on his head and a warrant for his capture. But still he continued to fight for the right of the Metis land. He fought against the injustice of Canada, risking his life in the process. A man with that much courage, and determination to do is part and help his people, surely must be good. Next, Louis Riel was voted president. He was not entitled to it. He was not expected to be president. The people chose him. They chose him because they trusted him and were ready to...

...vaticination of a formal transfer to take effect on December 1. This increased tensions among the Métis. In July 1869, the Metis suspicions had increased when McDougall ordered a survey of the settlement. Emerging as a leader, Louis Riel, who had been formally educated in European-style schools, denounced the survey in a speech delivered in late August from the steps of Saint Boniface Cathedral. His lifestyle was very variegated from those of buffalo-hunting Metis. When Riel returned to the west, it was unveiled that MacDonald fearing the United States was negotiating with HBC for the transfer Rupert’s land without consulting the Red River population and the Steering of Assiniboia. On October 11, 1869, Riel and other Métis disrupted the survey's work. On October 16 this group organized the "Métis National Committee" to represent Métis interests. Riel was elected secretary, John Bruce as president, and two representatives were elected from each parish.[8][9]...

...1. Was Louis Riel and the Metis justified in using violence? PRO Louis Riel and Metis were justified in using violence. There is a similar circumstance with Riel’s rebellion; Gandhi’s nonviolence resistance. Gandhi’s nonviolence resistance was successful, but it brought a great loss. Since India has a large population, they could keep their tradition and had a less apprehension about losing their culture during the great repression. However, Metis is a minority race. They have the risk of losing their identity and traditions if they had done the same thing which Gandhi and his people did. Also, Wilfrid Laurier said,* “If (I) had been on the banks of the Saskatchewan when the rebellion broke out, (I) would have take up my arms (myself) against the government … Riel’s execution was a judicial...

...To this day, Louis Riel remains one of Canadian history's most complex yet captivating figures. This is due to the multitude of ways he was seen and portrayed by others over the course of his life - varying from hero, to murderer. On one hand, he was regarded as both a founding father and a key component in the Metis' fight for rights. On the other, he was perceived as a criminal and a traitor. Overall, Louis Riel should be remembered as a murderer and traitor for his actions, and religious extremist for his warped views. Both the Canadian government and a large number of the population categorized Riel as a murderer and traitor. People felt this way about him mainly due to the death of Thomas Scott, (seen as an act to add more wood to the fire), for which he was considered to be responsible for. However, Scott's death wasn’t the first time Riel had been accused of causing a death. Riel was also accused of having lead many of his followers into unnecessary battles, resulting in the deaths of both Metis and members of the...

...Intro. Louis Riel was one of the people that was important during the red river rebellion. Riel was a french canadian mati. After his education in montreal he went back to his homeland only to find some servaiers who were surveying the land where he lived. He decided that he was going to rise up against the canadian government and stop them from giving their land away. Body. 1. One of the reasons why Louis Riel is sort of a big deal is because he defended the land of the mati and he even got John A macdonald to give them lots of land and a name a small part of it manitoba. This is interesting because he left his old life and defended his land. If he didn't do this there might not be a Manitoba today which would be bad. 2. Louis Riel contributed...

...Activity 4: Louis Riel & Malala Yousafzai Louis Riel (1844-1885) was one of the most controversial leaders in Canadian history. Known as a hero to the Métis for being one of the few to stand up for Aboriginal Rights and create a government of his own. Leading his people very close to the victory of Rupert’s Land, Riel was looked up to as a inspiring role model, and even a Father of Confederation. However, Riel was also seen to be a traitor to the Canadian government, by earning a violent reputation for his people, Riel was banished to the U.S. for five years, where he experienced depression and illusions. After being smuggled back into Canada by friends, Louis seemed to believe he was a prophet of God and was superior to others. Riel came back to his senses when the...

...Socials Chapter 4 Short Answer 1. The Metis tried to recreate the Red River settlement by doing multiple things. To begin, they laid out their farms in traditional matter. The traditional matter was “10 chains across and 2 chains deep.” Moreover, they attempted to recreate the seigniorial system. Furthermore, they put the Catholic Church always at the center of the community. 2. Lawrence Clark and the Bison Hunt of 1875 were both big factors that led to the laws of St. Laurent and Metis independence. Lawrence Clark lowered the standard of living of the Metis, which led them to rely on the government for everything. He only offered part time work, and paid them as little as possible, and all the bison was eliminated so they could not make pemmican to survive. This led to the hunt of 1875, when a group of Metis began hunting before the St. Laurent begun. Now, the Metis cannot make their own laws or conserve livelihood, therefore the laws of the St. Laurent and Metis Independence came forth. 3. The government wanted to open prairies to the Canadian and European settlement but that could only occur if the land title was settled in 1870, almost all of the Northwest was occupied with the Natives. In August 1871, Simpson concluded treaties with the Natives, who wanted a good deal for their future. Simpson ordered to conclude treaties that ended Native land titles. The impact on the Natives was that their land was being taken away, so they had no title...

...the past and why Canada is the country that it is today. The Northwest uprising was during the spring of 1885. It was fought by the Metis militants, their Aboriginal allies, Louis Riel, and the Canadian government in what is now Saskatchewan and Alberta. The uprising was caused by the way the Metis and the natives were treated. The Metis had established their settlement near the Saskatchewan river when the land surveyors appeared on their farms preparing to take their land away from them. For the Metis it looked like they were kicking them out of their land, the same thing that happened to them during their Red River Settlement....

...called the Red River Rebellion. Many profound changes occurred in the Red River Settlement that had caused problems and hostility among the inhabitants to emerge such as:the arrival of Canadians to the settlement, the economic problems and the decline of the Hudson Bay Company. However, the Red River Rebellion was sparked by the Hudson Bay Company selling Rupert’s Land to the new Dominion of Canada without consulting with the inhabitants nor paying any regard to their interests.The colonists of the Red River Settlement, many of whom were Metis, feared for their culture and land rights under the dominion’s control. In order to ascertain that their rights would be protected, the Metis set up a provisional government under the leadership of Louis Riel to negotiate an agreement with the new Dominion of Canada that the Red River Settlement and the lands surrounding it, could enter Confederation as the province of Manitoba under their own terms. During the 1850s, the population of Canada West was rapidly rising, this meant that the majority of the suitable land for agriculture had already been farmed and settled. Thus, more and more people were moving West seeking for new areas to occupy and clear.The Red River Valley was a very appealing prospect to them because of its fertile soil and small population. However, the majority of the migrating population in the Red River were Protestants and members of the Orange Order, this fact alone had caused tension to rise within the colony. The...

...Ever heard of Pasteurization? It was a method created by Louis Pasteur to stop milk and wine from carrying disease. Louis Pasteur is a French chemist and microbiologist from the 19th century. He had many influences in both the causing and prevention of many diseases. Now let’s take a look in detail at the many accomplishments of this biologist. Louis Pasteur was born in Dole, on December 27th 1822. Louis Pasteur comes from a poor family of tanners, not a likely place for such a person to sprout from. He was an average student early on in his life and was also very good at painting and drawing. In 1840 the young Louis acquired his Bachelor of Arts degree and two years later in 1842, his bachelor’s in science, at the École Normale Supérieure. In 1848 he shortly worked as a professor of physics, and a year later became a professor of chemistry at the University of Strasbourg. At this university he met and later married Marie Laurent, whom he had 5 children with. Sadly of his five children only two of them lived all the way to adulthood, the others killed by a disease called typhoid. This is actually the reason that Pasteur decided to try to find cures for the multiple diseases that had killed his children. Pasteur has had many impacts on biology, such as pasteurization and certain cures for diseases and vaccines. Focusing on pasteurization, he was faced with a problem nobody could seem to answer. Why did some wine go bad and why didn’t...
