  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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 Métisallowed 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

  15. 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

  16. His Major Contribution • His Major Contribution was his hand in Manitoba joining confederation
