Equity - Last Sunday was Louis Riel Day. We remember the 16th of November because it is the anniversary of his execution. While he was a historically controversial figure, he is remembered as a Métis hero. Louis Riel was a leader of the Red River Resistance in 1869. At this point in time, the Canadian government was planning on taking away the Métis farmers' land and their homes. The Red River Resistance was a success and stopped that from happening, though the Métis people would continue to face similar challenges from the country. Louis Riel is remembered as a Métis hero because he led his people and defended their place in Canada.
