Note:
The quote featured here was said by Riel shortly before his execution, when a guard asked for a souvenir.
This was my post on other social media for #louisrielday
I'm proud to be a #redrivermetis woman today, and everyday.

“The Métis have always been builders here. We cleared trails, built homes, and raised communities on the banks of these rivers long before this province had a name. We fought for fairness, not favour, and for recognition, not charity.”

Every November, Métis Week arrives quietly. Across Alberta, you’ll see our flag raised and hear the notes of the fiddle. And at the Alberta Legislature, Métis people will gather to remember a man whose life changed the course of this country, Louis Riel.

Resting place of Louis Riel; Saint-Boniface Cathedral Cemetery.
He was born on October 22, 1844, so this week we want to share the places we saw him this year on our trip back home to Manitoba. These are the Manitoba Legislative Building grounds.
