Today is the 140th anniversary of #louisriel 's execution.
Riel, now known as the #fatherofmanitoba and a fearless leader of the #metis people, grew up in a well respected home. Like many before him and after, he stepped out of comfort in the name of justice for his people.
He endured being called a lunatic, a traitor, and a criminal , as he was aware that his actions would echo through the centuries. He knew his life would be short.
As a Metis, I honour him.
