My Three Main Points On Why Louis Riel was an Influential Person in History
He had an impact on Manitoba joining confederation
He was one of the first major influential Métis leaders
He helped make Métis recognized first nations
He Had an Impact on Manitoba Joining
Confederation He wanted the colony to enter
confederation with institutions much like Quebec
Riel demanded that Red River enter confederation as a province, and that the local inhabitants possessed the same rights as all Canadians
This allowed for Manitoba to exercise constitutional power in its own right
He Was One of The First Major
Influential Métis leaders
Louis is known as the father of Manitoba but he is also known as the man who stood up for the rights of the Métis people
Louis Riel’s fight for equal rights for Métis allowed him to become a symbol of leadership to many Métis and non Métis individuals in that time and in the modern day
Louis showed that the preconceived idea of Métis people as dirty unintelligent half breeds was wrong
He Helped Make Métis Become
Recognized First Nations
He believed that the French speaking Métis were belonging to neither the French community nor the native community, he believed that they were their own nation.
Louis Riel pushed strongly for land rights and received them in the form of script.
Because the government of Canada, acknowledged the Métis and gave them script it was an acknowledgment that they were a native people
His Major Contribution
His Major Contribution was his hand in Manitoba joining confederation
