Louis Riel
Louis Riel was a significant figure in Canadian history, known as the father of Manitoba. He led the Métis people in their struggle for rights during the province's entry into Confederation in 1870. Riel's leadership during the Red River and North-West Rebellions has made him a controversial figure, seen by some as a traitor and by others as a hero. His legacy is honored annually on Louis Riel Day, which celebrates his contributions and the ongoing fight for Métis rights.
Born on Oct 22, 1844 (180 years old)
