Today is Louis Riel Day.
Louis Riel was a Canadian politician, a founder of Manitoba (a Canadian province) and a political and spiritual leader of the Métis. He led two resistance movements against the Canadian Government. Louis Riel wanted to preserve Métis rights and culture as their homeland in the Northwest became more progressively under Canadian influence.
Happy Louis Riel Day! ∞
KEEPIN’ IT RIEL!
I pay way more attention to Louis Riel day than Ontario’s “Family Day”, despite now living in ON. I do not regret this decision in the slightest.
(Did I mention my greatx3 grandfather worked closely with him and was one of the provisional counsellors of Manitoba upon its founding? That’s a thing that is true).
