	Louis Riel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Riel was forced into exile in the United States as a result of the controversial execution of Thomas Scott during the rebellion.
		Riel was viewed sympathetically in francophone regions of Canada, and his execution had a lasting influence on relations between the province of Quebec and English-speaking Canada.
		Riel was easily swayed to support their cause — which was perhaps unsurprising in view of Riel's continuing conviction that he was the divinely selected leader of the Métis and the prophet of a new form of Christianity.

	Redeeming Riel
		Riel's second speech to the court was entirely secular — in fact, quite striking in its near-total absence of religious references.
		Judging from the structure of the passage, in which Riel identifies several nationalities to be invited to settle in the West, Riel said "Ireland" intending to specify it as one of seven countries he foresaw sharing land in the Canadian West.
		Perhaps this ultimate exoneration of Riel is the result of years of tiny revisions of documents, subtle in themselves, yet persuasive in their overall effect; nevertheless, Louis Riel is being reshaped once again to reflect contemporary social concerns of Canadians.

		Tired of dealing with the Riel issue and anxious to put the 1869-70 problems behind them, legislators voted in 1875 to grant amnesty for participants in the Red River uprising--but in Riel's case the amnesty was conditioned on his agreeing to a five-year banishment from Canada.
		Riel plead "not guilty" to "wickedly, maliciously, and traitorously" making "war against our lady the Queen" and "maliciously and traitorously" attempting to "by force and arms subvert and destroy the constitution and government of this realm." Treason charges rested on the three battles with government forces: Duck Lake, Fish Creek, and Batoche.
		Riel, who had been sitting passively through testimony by the previous prosecution witnesses, became agitated during Nolin's examination and leaped to his feet, asking that he be given the opportunity to put questions directly to Nolin.

	Louis Riel - Canadian Confederation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Viewed by some as a saviour, and by some as a traitor, Riel nevertheless became the voice of the Métis people during a turbulent time in Canadian history, and was largely responsible for the entrance of the province of Manitoba into Confederation.
		At that time, Riel was noticed by Bishop Alexandre-Antonin Taché who wanted him to become a priest, but, following the death of his father, Riel abandoned that idea and in 1865, he became a law-office clerk in order to provide for his family.
		When Ritchot returned to the settlement to report on the negotiations with Ottawa, he met Riel who seemed very satisfied with the results and who henceforth believed he was protected by an indemnity promised to the participants in the "rebellion." The provisional government ratified the agreement leading to the Manitoba Act on June 24, 1870.

	DESMOND MORTON 'Fantasy vs. Riel-ity' - 26 Jan1998 - david nicholson
		Riel is dead, hanged in Regina on Nov. 15, 1885, for "levying war upon Her Majesty," contrary to a medieval Statute of Treasons, which had the force of law in Canada at the time.
		The campaign for Riel's exoneration and promotion to the company of the fathers of confederation continues, currently under the dubious auspices of the Bloc Quebecois, but with plenty of allies.
		Riel the symbol, after all, is heritage, to be exploited for collective self-esteem, victim status and the indoctrination of the young.
