Riel was also the founder of Manitoba, a politician, and the leader of the Metis during the red river rebellion. The Hudson Bay Company sold Rupert’s land to the new Domain of Canada. However, the people living on this land already, which many of them were Metis and the first nation had not been negotiated or confirmed about this. They feared for their culture

the Rebellion was being resolved by the Treaty of Manitoba, Louis Riel had many demands of the Angelo Canadian government (Francis 40). Louis first and foremost demanded that Manitoba be confederated as a province, allowing the Métis to have more say in the election of their own delegates and to be able to govern themselves, preserving their way of life and there tight cultural ties. Louis Riel also demanded that the government and schools in Manitoba would be Bi-Lingual, Preserving the Franco Canadian

On October 23, 1844, in Red River Manitoba, Louis Riel Sr and Julie Lagimodiere, devout Christians, brought a young Métis boy into the world. Little did they know, Louis Riel Jr. would grow up to become known to many as “the founder of Manitoba.” His life was filled with excitement, both political and personal.

the founder of Manitoba.” Macdonald was open to the idea of creating a new province, that he even granted the “children of the Metis,” 200 000 hectares of land, the right to self-government, and a railway. On May 12, 1870, the Red River settlement founded by the Metis became the small but powerful province of Manitoba due to the perseverance of Riel. Louis Riel was the essential advocate that made a minority of people into a province. He aided in the implementation of the Manitoba Act, granting the
