  • Who Was Louis Riel?
    Métis Nation of Ontario Who was Louis Riel? Louis, the first child of Louis Riel and Julie Lagimodière, was born on October 22, 1844 in St. Boniface, Manitoba. Louis spent his childhood on the east bank of the Red River, not far from St. Boniface. He grew up among the Métis and was extremely conscious of his identity. At the age of seven, he began his education, eventually studying at the school established in the settlement in 1854 by a Christian brother. With the aim of training priests for the young colony, in 1858, Bishop Tache sent him and two other boys, Daniel McDougall and Louis Schmidt to Montreal to continue their studies. Louis was admitted to the Collège de Montréal where he spent the next eight years studying Latin, Greek, French, English, philosophy and the sciences. Louis proved an excellent student, rising quickly to the top of his class. In January 1864, Louis was overwhelmed with grief by the death of his beloved father whom he had not seen since leaving Red River. A subsequent attitude change prompted his teachers to question Louis’ commitment to a religious vocation. A year later he left his residency at Collège de Montréal to become a day student. But after breaking the rules several times and repeatedly missing class, he was asked to leave both the college and convent. He left College and returned to the Red River in a world fraught with intense political activity and intense nationalism. Louis lived with his aunt, Lucia Riel, and managed to find employment in a law office.

  • Depiction of the Red River Rebellion in Canadian History Textbooks Robert Briscoe, Rachel Shindman, Melissa Sit, Tracy Wong
    Evolution of the Depiction of the Red River Rebellion in Canadian History Textbooks Robert Briscoe, Rachel Shindman, Melissa Sit, Tracy Wong “In constructing the collective memory, textbooks play a dual role: on the one hand, they provide a sense of continuity between the past and the present, transmitting accepted historical narratives; on the other, they alter - or rewrite - the past in order to suit the contemporary needs.”i - Elie Podeh Historical Question to be Answered How has the portrayal of the Red River Rebellion been presented in Canadian history textbooks over the 20th and 21st centuries, and what, if any, are some of the forces behind changes in this portrayal? Thesis This report aims to track changes in the presentation of the Red River Rebellion in a variety of Ontario secondary school textbooks from the 1930s to present day. By considering the local and global contexts in which these books were written, it is expected that the language and portrayal of the Red River Rebellion will significantly change over time. In particular, with increasing attention to minority rights in the sixties and seventies, it is expected that textbooks written after 1970 will come to represent an increasing range of viewpoints surrounding these controversial historical issues. Historical Background The Red River Rebellion (also known as the Red River Resistance) was a series of events that occurred between 1869 and 1870 in what is now the Canadian Province of Manitoba. Until 1869, the area had been under the control of the Hudson’s Bay Company. In 1869, the Hudson’s Bay Company sold the land to Canada.

  • Louis Riel (1844-1885): Biography
    Louis Riel (1844-1885): Biography Louis Riel, Métis leader and martyr, was born in St. Boniface, Red River Settlement (later Winnipeg, Manitoba) on October 22, 1844 to Jean- Louis Riel and Julie Lagimodière. He was the oldest of eleven children. In March 1882, he married Marguerite Monet dit Bellehumeur in Carrol, Montana Territory. The couple had two children: Jean (May 1882) and Angèlique (September 1883). After arguably the most politically explosive trial in Canadian history, he was executed for High Treason on November 16, 1885. Louis Riel led the Métis in two resistances during 1869-70 in Red River and in 1885 in the Saskatchewan District of the North-West Territories (present-day central Saskatchewan). Riel had leadership in his blood: his father Jean-Louis organized Métis hunters and traders to bring an end to the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC)’s fur trading monopoly. Guillaume Sayer and three other Métis had been charged with illegal trading. However, on May 17, 1849, the day of their trial, the senior Riel organized an armed group of Métis outside of the courthouse. While the traders were found guilty, the Métis were so intimidating that the HBC Magistrate who presided over the trial let Guillaume and the others go without imposing a fine. This event virtually ended the HBC’s monopoly trading monopoly in what is now Western Canada. Louis Riel did not at first want a life in politics. When he was fourteen, priests sent him and other intelligent Métis boys to Canada East (now Québec) to attend the collège de Montréal.

    Canada agreed and the Manitoba Act established Manitoba as a province with guarantees for the Métis built in. Furthermore, 1.4 million acres were set aside for the Métis. When violence and the encroachment of the new Ontario settlers on Métis lands occurred after 1870, the Métis resisted. However, Orangemen out to avenge the death of Thomas Scott, land speculators, the illegal actions of Canadians, especially the Racism Canadian land office employees and a reign of terror carried out by the Canadian militia sent out in 1870, resulted in most Métis leaving their homeland by 1880. By 1885, Canadian duplicity towards the Métis resulted in some of them asking Louis Riel to The National Flag of the Métis return to Canada to help them out. Canada’s answer was 6,000 troops which defeated the small number of Métis at Batoche in Saskatchewan in 1885. For his part, Louis Riel was charged with high treason and found guilty by six English-speaking Protestant jurors. Stipendiary magistrate Huge Richardson then sentenced him to hang.

  • Events: Manitoba Becomes a Province E
    6.1.2 Events: Manitoba Becomes a Province e The American territory is rapidly expanding westward in search of good farmland. Prime Minister John A. Macdonald worries that Americans will take over Rupert’s Land. Canada buys Rupert’s Land from the Hudson’s Bay Company, and names the entire area the North-West Territories. The people of the Red River Settlement are not consulted about this decision. The people of the Red River Settlement are upset that they have not been consulted about becoming a territory of Canada. They meet and elect Louis Riel as their leader to represent their demands. The Government of Canada names William McDougall lieutenant-governor of the North- West Territories. William McDougall travels to the Red River Colony to survey the land for Canada and to tell the people they will officially become a territory of Canada on December 1, 1869. McDougall’s passage to the Red River Colony is blocked by the Métis under Louis Riel. They oppose the surveying and division of their lands by the Canadian government. On November 2, 1869, Louis Riel and his men take possession of Fort Garry, the headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company. They put several people who oppose them in prison. One of these prisoners is Thomas Scott, an Orangeman from Ontario who believes the Red River Settlement should be Protestant and English-speaking. On December 8, 1869, Louis Riel and his followers form a provisional government. The Métis representatives draft a Bill of Rights listing their demands, including protection of their culture and lands.

  • The Red River Rebellion
    The Red River Rebellion By Adero Helgason The Red River Settlement The Red River Settlement was founded on the confluence of The Red River and The Assiniboine River in Rupert’s Land which was controlled by The HBC. The Settlement was founded in 1812 by Thomas Douglas, on the land of the Cree and Ojibwe tribes and the hunting lands of some Metis communities. This lead to tensions between the European settlers and the Native and Metis peoples. Thomas Douglas In the 1850s, The HBC was pressured to give up their rule of Rupert’s Land. In the negotiations between The HBC and the Canadian Government, the Metis people’s concerns were not considered and they treated the land as if no one lived there. During the negotiations, white Protestants began moving out west to the areas occupied by Metis people. Their intrusion led to even stronger calls for cultural and land rights by the Metis people of the newly established territory. In 1869, the Government wanted to re-survey the farmland in the west from the long and narrow strips of land along rivers to square plots that limited access to water. The Government also intended to respect the land rights of the Metis, but didn’t guarantee that they would. William McDougall was also appointed the territory’s first Lieutenant Governor with the task of re-surveying the land. This fueled fears of English Canadian dominance in the west among Metis communities. William McDougall In November of 1869, Louis Riel became a prominent figure in the movement for the rights of Metis people in Canada.

    216 PRINCESS STREET THOMAS SCOTT MEMORIAL ORANGE HALL City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings & Resources Committee Researcher: M. Peterson September 2015 This building embodies the following heritage values as described in the Historical Resources By-law, 55/2014 (consolidated update July 13, 2016): (a) Its date-of-construction, 1902, makes it an excellent example of an early 20th century mixed use structure; (b) Its original and long-term owner, the Orange Order, was an important fraternal organization; (c) It was designed by architect Samuel Hooper, one of the city’s most prominent early 20th century designers; (d) It is an excellent example of a Classical Revival style building with unique stone cladding; (e) It is an integral part of its north Princess Street streetscape; and (f) Most of the design features and materials of the main (east) façade are intact. 216 PRINCESS STREET – THOMAS SCOTT MEMORIAL ORANGE HALL Winnipeg in the early 1890s was on the verge of a spectacular era of growth, development and maturity that would almost completely change the City by World War I. But this comprehensive growth followed patterns established a decade earlier and resulted in specific districts within city boundaries even after this frenzied period of growth. The real estate and construction boom of the early 1880s was intimately connected to the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) around Winnipeg and onto the western prairies. Land prices in the small capital city skyrocketed, the population soared and solid brick structures began replacing the small wooden shacks that dotted the mud streets and avenues. Perhaps more important, however, was the beginning of the segregation of the various sectors of the city – residential, commercial and industrial – and their specific buildings.1 The huge advance in land prices along Main Street north of Portage Avenue necessitated the replacement of the earlier residential development (Plate 1) with large commercial structures.
