John Brown of the Metis and Louis Riel on the Northwest Frontier
A historical portrait of Louis Riel and the Metis of Red River, tracing Riel’s rise as provisional leader, his Manitoba and Saskatchewan rebellions, and his later life in Montana and the United States. The piece contrasts Riel with John Brown, notes genetic and cultural mix, and cites later grants of land and parliamentary representation to the Metis.
