ELMNT FM’s Take a Lesson...

Louis Riel was a Canadian politician, a founder of the province of Manitoba, and a political leader of the Métis people. He led two resistance movements against the government of Canada and its first prime minister, John A. Macdonald.

Riel sought to defend Métis rights and identity as the Northwest Territories came progressively under the Canadian sphere of influence.

ELMNT FM’s Take a Lesson...

Chief Poundmaker was a Plains Cree chief known as a peacemaker and defender of the Poundmaker Cree Nation.

In 1885, during the Métis Rebellion, his band was attacked by Canadian troops and a battle ensued. After the rebellion was suppressed, he surrendered and was convicted of treason and imprisoned. He died of illness soon after his release.

In May 2019, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exonerated the chief and apologized to the Poundmaker Cree Nation.
