1. Louis Riel leader of NW Rebellion, son of Joseph Louis Riel and Julie Lagimonière, was born on 22 Oct 1844 in StBoniface, Manitoba, Canada1 and died on 16 Nov 1885 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.1

General Notes: Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online

RIEL, LOUIS, Métis spokesman, regarded as the founder of Manitoba, teache r, and leader of the North-Westrebellion; b. 22 Oct. 1844 in the Red Riv er Settlement (Man.), eldest child of Louis Riel* and Julie Lagimonière, daughter of Jean-Baptiste Lagimonière* and Marie-Anne Gaboury*; m. in 18 81 Marguerite Monet, dit Bellehumeur,and they had three children, the you ngest of whom died while Riel was awaiting execution; d. 16 Nov. 1885 by hanging at Regina (Sask.).

Louis Riel is one of the most controversial figures in Canadian hist ory. To the Métis he is a hero, an eloquentspokesman for their aspiration s. In the Canadian west in 1885 the majority of the settlers regarded h im a villain;today he is seen there as the founder of those movements whi ch have protested central Canadian political andeconomic power. French Ca nadians have always thought him a victim of Ontario religious and racial b igotry, and byno means deserving of the death penalty. Biographers and hi storians over the years since Riel’s death have beeninfluenced by o ne or other of these attitudes. He remains a mysterious figure in dea th as in life.

Riel was the eldest of 11 children in a close-knit, devoutly religio us, and affectionate family. Both his parents werewesterners, and he is s aid to have had one-eighth Indian blood, his paternal grandmother bei ng a Franco-ChipewyanMétisse. Louis Sr, an educated man, had obtained la nd on the Red River where he gained a position of influence in theMétis c ommunity. In 1849 he organized the community to aid Pierre-Guillaume Sayer *, a Métis charged withviolating the Hudson’s Bay Company’s trade monopol y. Sayer was released, an action which resulted in the end ofthat monopol y. As a child, young Louis would have heard much of his father’s exploits.

While he was being educated in the Catholic schools in St Bonifac e, Riel attracted the attention of BishopAlexandre-Antonin Taché*. Anxio us to have bright Métis boys trained for the priesthood, Taché arrang ed in 1858 forRiel and three others, including Louis Schmidt, to attend s chool in Canada. At the Petit Séminaire de Montréal Rielshowed himse lf to be intelligent and studious, with a capacity for charming others, b ut he could also be moody,proud, and irritable.

The news of his father’s death, which reached him in February 186 4, was a traumatic shock for Riel. Always anintrovert, subject to moo ds of depression, he seems to have lost confidence in his qualifications f or the priesthoodand withdrew from the college in March of the followi ng year without graduating. Hoping to support his family inRed River, wh om Riel Sr had left impoverished and in debt, Louis became a clerk in t he Montreal law firm ofToussaint-Antoine-Rodolphe Laflamme*. But the subt leties of the law bored and annoyed Riel and he decided, in alllikeliho od in 1866, to return to Red River. He probably worked at odd jobs in Chic ago and St Paul (Minn.) beforearriving at St Boniface in July 1868.

The Red River that Riel had left ten years earlier was an isolated s ociety of English-speaking mixed-bloods (thecountry-born), Scottish settl ers, and the French-speaking, Roman Catholic Métis. During the early 19 th century theMétis, the largest group, had developed a vigorous sen se of nationality based on a distinctive culture which combinedIndian a nd French Canadian elements. For the most part, the Métis were indiffere nt to farming, preferring theexcitement of the buffalo hunt far out on t he western plains. These annual hunts were superbly organized and disciplined affairs under the control of democratically elected leaders, and Mét is adherence to the hunt was dramaticallyreflected in their quasi-milita ry social organization. In contrast to the Métis, the country-born were pr edominantlyAnglican, proud of their English culture, and settled on the l and. The Scots settlers had adhered strictly to thePresbyterian church.

Riel found many changes on his return. Religious antipathies had bec ome a notable feature of the settlement. Atthe same time the political cl imate was both uncertain and volatile. The settlement, part of the Rupert ’s Land held bythe HBC, was still administered by a governor and the Coun cil of Assiniboia, established by the HBC. The need for anew constitution al arrangement was acknowledged, but the issue was far from settled. Moreo ver, the old inhabitantsnow recognized that although their settlement w as still isolated, it was the object of expansionist aspirations on the part of both the United States and Canada. Indeed, during Riel’s absence t he settlement had grown to almost 12,000 andthe village of Winnipeg had e merged, largely populated by Canadians and a handful of Americans. In fac t, what Rielfound at Red River in July 1868 was an Anglo-Protestant Ontar io community, hostile to Roman Catholicism and thesocial and economic val ues of the Métis.

The most influential and vociferous personality among the Canadia ns was Dr John Christian Schultz*, an Ontario-born physician, trader, a nd land speculator. For Schultz and his followers the future of the settle ment was obvious –annexation to Canada. In the early 1850s the annexati on of the northwest had become a popular political issue inCanada We st as a consequence of the activities of George Brown* and William McDouga ll*, the leaders of the ClearGrits. In French Canada, land seekers had be en encouraged to look north in their own province, but their political leaders, by entering the confederation coalition of 1864, had tacitly accept ed the idea of acquiring the northwest. Thisbipartisan understanding w as embodied in section 146 of the British North America Act of 1867 whi ch provided fortranscontinental expansion. Shortly after Riel’s retu rn to the west, it became known that Prime Minister Sir John A.Macdonald *, fearing the Minnesota annexationists, was again negotiating with the H BC for the transfer of Rupert’sLand, ignoring the population at Red Riv er and the Council of Assiniboia.

Meanwhile, a grasshopper plague in 1867–68 had caused much distre ss in the settlement. The Canadiangovernment had proposed providing reli ef by financing the building of a road from Upper Fort Garry (Winnipe g) toLake of the Woods; because the government anticipated that the count ry would soon be annexed it felt the road,named “the Dawson Road” after e ngineer Simon James Dawson*, would be essential. But the project was poor lyadministered, and the survey party assembled in the settlement by Jo hn Allan Snow, head of the project, and CharlesMair*, its paymaster, w ho arrived together from Ontario in October 1868, included no French-speak ing members.Mair, a poet and friend of McDougall, now the minister of pub lic works, made himself thoroughly unpopular in thesettlement by a seri es of articles in Ontario newspapers in January 1869 criticizing the Méti s. He was opposed tothe expedient biculturalism of the Red River Settleme nt, and, being an advocate of large-scale Ontario immigration tothe north west, was a natural ally of Dr Schultz, the road party’s agent. Thomas Sco tt*, an Irishman and ferventOrangeman who was reckless, stubborn, and con temptuous of the Métis, joined the work crew in the summer of1869.

At St Vital, an idle Riel had initially decided “to wait on event s, quite determined just the same to take part inpublic affairs when t he time should come.” When the substance of Mair’s articles became kno wn to the settlement,Riel defended the Métis against this unjust critici sm in a strong reply published in Le Nouveau Monde (Montreal) inFebrua ry 1869. He attended and spoke at a meeting called on 19 July by well-esta blished leaders of the Métiscommunity, such as Pascal Breland* and Willi am Dease, to discuss growing Métis fears about the course of events.Thou gh the meeting underlined the need for concerted action, none was planned.

In July 1869 Métis suspicions had increased when McDougall order ed a survey of the settlement. The head of thesurvey party, Colonel Jo hn Stoughton Dennis, was given specific instructions to respect the riv er lots of the settlers.Nevertheless, he received a cool reception in Upp er Fort Garry and St Boniface after he arrived on 20 August, and hisclo se association with Dr Schultz increased Métis fears. William Mactavish *, the governor of Assiniboia and ofRupert’s Land, believed that “as so on as the survey commences the Half breeds and Indians will at once come forward and assert their right to the land and possibly stop the work ti ll their claim is satisfied.” He considered thesurvey premature and unwis e, and he cautioned the Canadian government. Robert Machray*, the Anglic an bishop ofRupert’s Land, and Bishop Taché, who called at Ottawa on h is way to Rome, also warned the government. But allrepresentations were i gnored by Macdonald. Indeed, in late September matters worsened when it w as announced thatMcDougall, who with Sir George-Étienne Cartier* had conc luded negotiations between the HBC and Canada inLondon, would be the fir st lieutenant governor of the territories. No poorer choice for the post c ould have been made,in view of the necessity for diplomatic caution in de aling with the officials of the HBC and with the lay and clericalspokesm en of the various groups at Red River. The transfer was to take pla ce on 1 Dec. 1869.




As tensions mounted among the Métis it was clear that strong leaders hip was needed. Riel’s experiences duringthe past ten years had produc ed a life-style very different from that of the buffalo-hunting Métis, b ut it was thesepeople he now aspired to lead. The older, more establish ed leaders had had little success and had shown littleinitiative. Ri el – ambitious, well-educated, bilingual, young and energetic, eloquent, d eeply religious, and the bearer ofa famous name – was more than willi ng to provide what the times required.

Late in August 1869, from the steps of the St Boniface cathedral, Ri el declared the survey a menace. On 11October a group of Métis, includi ng Riel, stopped the survey. A week later, the National Committee, with Jo hnBruce as president and Riel as secretary, was formed in St Norbert wi th the support of the local priest, Joseph-NoëlRitchot*. This associati on of the clergy and the Métis is not surprising: a people surrounded or t hreatened by analien culture frequently find in their church the chief su stainer of their traditions and aspirations. The able BishopTaché had alr eady put into print his understanding of and sympathy for the Mét is as an integral, and now threatened,part of the settlement.

On 25 October Riel was summoned to appear before the Council of Assi niboia to explain his actions. He declaredthat the National Committee wou ld prevent the entry of McDougall or any other governor unless the union w ithCanada was based on negotiations with the Métis and with the populati on in general. However, by 30 OctoberMcDougall had reached the bord er at the village of Pembina (N. Dak.) and, despite a written order from R iel, heproceeded to the HBC Pembina post (West Lynne, Man.). Here on 2 No vember McDougall was met by an armedMétis patrol, commanded by Ambroise-D ydime Lépine*, and ordered to return the next day to the United States. Also on the 2nd, Riel, with followers reported as numbering up to 400, who h ad been recruited from the fur-brigadesrecently returned to the settleme nt for the season, took possession of Upper Fort Garry without a struggl e. It was abrilliant move on Riel’s part – control of the fort symboliz ed control of all access to the settlement and the northwest.

The month of November 1869 was one of intense activity in the Red Ri ver Settlement, as Riel worked to unite itsresidents including establish ed Métis such as Charles Nolin* and William Dease, who initially opposed h im. On 6November Riel issued an invitation to the English-speaking inhabi tants to elect 12 representatives from their parishesto attend a conventi on with the Métis representatives. Somewhat reluctantly the country-born a nd the Selkirksettlers agreed with the proposal. At the first meeti ng of the convention little was accomplished and the English-speaking dele gates, led by James Ross*, criticized the exclusion of McDougall from t he settlement as smacking ofrebellion. Riel angrily denied this allegatio n. Responding to another charge, he stated that he had no intention of invoking American intervention; throughout the resistance he insisted that t he Métis were loyal subjects of the queen.

On 16 November Mactavish, as governor at Red River, issued a proclam ation requiring the Métis to lay downtheir arms. In response Riel propos ed a further step to the convention on 23 November: the formation of a provisional government to replace the Council of Assiniboia and to negotia te terms of union with Canada. He did notsucceed in rallying the English- speaking parishes behind this move. Nor did they approve the “List of Righ ts” whichRiel presented to the convention on 1 December after McDougall i ssued a proclamation stating that the northwestwas part of Canada as of t hat day and that he was its lieutenant governor. The “List,” probably comp osed by Riel,consisted of 14 items. It proposed representation in the Can adian parliament, guarantees of bilingualism in thelegislature, a bilingu al chief justice, and arrangements for free homesteads and Indian treatie s. When the “List” waslater printed and widely distributed many of the En glish-speaking population were converted to the view that theMétis deman ds were not unreasonable.

More serious opposition was mounted by Schultz, Dennis, and the Cana dian element of the settlement.McDougall had requested Dennis to recru it a force to arrest the Métis occupying Upper Fort Garry, a threat Riel took seriously, but most of the English-speaking settlers refused to respo nd to Dennis’ call to arms and he retired toLower Fort Garry. Schult z, on the other hand, had fortified his house and store, and recruited abo ut 50 followers asguards. He proposed to Dennis that he be allowed to att ack Upper Fort Garry and capture Riel. Before this couldhappen Riel’s sol diers surrounded Schultz’s store and demanded his surrender. Realizing the ir position was hopeless,on 7 December the Canadians gave in and were imp risoned at Upper Fort Garry. The next day Riel established theprovision al government, and Bruce was named president. On 18 December McDougall a nd Dennis left Pembina forOntario, having been informed that the Canadi an government had in fact postponed union until the British government or the HBC could guarantee a peaceable transfer.




Macdonald later admitted that under the circumstances the peop le of the community had had to form agovernment for the protection of li fe and propertet, in an alcoholic haze or because of urgent political prob lems inCanada, he did not, in fact, fully realize at the time the sta te of affairs in the settlement, and Canadians generallyseemed unconcerne d. On 6 December, nevertheless, Macdonald had sponsored a proclamati on by the governorgeneral of an amnesty to all in Red River who would l ay down their arms. He also appointed a two-man goodwillmission consisti ng of Abbé Jean-Baptiste Thibault*, a priest who had been a missiona ry in the northwest for morethan 35 years, and Colonel Charles-René-Léoni das d’Irumberry de Salaberry. Thibault arrived in the settlement onChrist mas Day, while de Salaberry remained in Pembina.

On 27 December, at the settlement, Riel took over from Bruce as pres ident of the provisional government, and onthe same day Donald Alexand er Smith*, appointed by Macdonald’s government as a special commissione r, arrivedquietly with his brother-in-law Richard Charles Hardisty, osten sibly on HBC business. When de Salaberry in his turnreached the settleme nt on 5 Jan. 1870 he and Thibault met with Riel and the Métis counci l. It was apparent then thatthey had no authority to negotiate terms of u nion; moreover, Thibault’s discussions with the priests of the settlement converted him to the Métis viewpoint. Smith, a more formidable influen ce than the other two commissioners, hadbeen charged by Macdonald to off er money or employment to any of the leaders in the settlement amenab le tocooperation, and to present the Canadian government’s plans. By dist ributing the government’s money carefully hewas able to attract several l eading Métis but, after meeting with Riel on 6 January, he concluded th at “no good couldarise from entering into any negotiations with his Counc il.” Smith decided to present his instructions at a publicmeeting. He ha d, however, left his official commission in Pembina to avoid its seizu re by Riel who asked to see it.Now Smith was able, with the assistan ce of some of the Métis who were supporting him, to out-manœuvre the president and have Hardisty deliver the commission to him at Red River whe re he was under house arrest. Riel had toaccede to Smith’s desire for a m ass meeting.

On 19 Jan. 1870 a large crowd assembled in the square at Fort Gar ry and, with Thomas Bunn* in the chair andRiel acting as interpreter, Smi th made his case. Although it differed little from that of Thibault a nd de Salaberry, itwas received calmly. Smith promised a liberal poli cy in confirming land titles to present occupants and representationon t he proposed territorial council. The meeting was continued on the followi ng day with an even larger crowd. Theatmosphere of this session had chang ed and the listeners were now firmly behind Riel. Growing more confident a ndreaching the height of his influence, he realized that the meeting want ed something more than assurances of goodwill,and, taking the initiativ e, he proposed that a convention of 40 representatives, equally divided be tween the twolanguage groups, meet the following week to consider Smith ’s instructions in detail. The proposal was approved.When the conventi on met on 26 January Riel was conciliatory, nominating Judge John Blac k* as chairman andagreeing that a new “List of Rights” should be prepar ed by a committee of six, three from each language group. A new,slight ly modified “List” was presented on the 29th and the convention proceed ed to debate it until 3 February whenthe last clause, no. 19, was accepte d. Riel then proposed that the convention demand the immediate grant of provincial status, presumably for the whole northwest. This would have mea nt control of crown lands and other naturalresources, but the proposal w as rejected, some considering it premature. He failed again on the 5th wh en he proposedthat the convention repudiate the agreement between Cana da and the HBC and that the negotiations be betweenCanada and the settlem ent.

On 7 February the convention discussed the new “List of Rights” fir st with Thibault and de Salaberry, and thenwith Smith, though Riel sti ll contended that Smith could not provide any specific guarantees. Smith t hereupondeclared that he had been authorized to propose the sendi ng of a delegation to Ottawa which would be given “a verycordial receptio n.” The proposal, which would entail direct negotiations between Canada a nd the settlement, waswhat Riel had planned and advocated from the beginn ing of the resistance, and it was accepted with enthusiasm. Rielthen sugg ested that since a government was needed until the parliament of Canada pr ovided a constitution, bothlanguage groups should participate in the prov isional government. The English-speaking representatives at theconventi on hesitated until a delegation sent on the 9th to consult with Governor M actavish reported that although herefused to delegate his authority he ag reed with the proposal. The country-born and the Scottish delegates were n owsatisfied that they should cooperate further with Riel.

The committee which had drafted the “List of Rights” in January w as asked to submit a constitution for theprovisional government. The comm ittee’s proposals, which were accepted on 10 February, established an asse mblyof 24 elected representatives drawn equally from the French-speaki ng and English-speaking parishes of the




settlement. The General Quarter ly Court of Assiniboia would continue to administer the law. Recognizing R iel’sstrong position, the committee also recommended that he be presiden t. He then selected an executive of Thomas Bunn(secretary), William Berna rd O’Donoghue* (treasurer), and James Ross (chief justice), and nominat ed a three-mandelegation to proceed to Ottawa when required – Abbé Ritch ot representing the Métis, Judge Black representing theEnglish-speaking s ettlers, and Alfred Henry Scott* representing the Americans although he m ay have been a Britishsubject. Riel had reached the pinnacle of his hop es and ambitions, and he could afford a gesture of generosity – hepromis ed to release all the prisoners held at Upper Fort Garry.

It now appeared that a united front had been achieved in the settlem ent. The pro-American element, which in thepersons of Enos Stutsman* a nd Oscar Malmros was intriguing in favour of annexation to the United Stat es andpromoting it through the New Nation begun in Winnipeg on 7 Januar y, was seeing its limited influence on eventsdiminishing. On the other ha nd the unscrupulous triumvirate of Schultz, Mair, and Thomas Scott was det ermined tofoment civil war to eliminate Métis power. However, as outside rs they misjudged the willingness of the country-bornand Scottish settle rs to oppose the Métis. Unfortunately for all concerned the three men h ad escaped from UpperFort Garry in January 1870. Schultz had made his w ay downstream to drum up support for an armed force in theEnglish-speaki ng parishes and among the Indians. Mair and Scott had gone to Portage la P rairie, a Canadiansettlement, where, to gain support, Scott retailed horr or stories of his imprisonment. At Portage, Charles ArkollBoulton*, capta in of the 46th militia regiment and a member of Dennis’ survey crew, was i nveigled into assuming theleadership of a force which left Porta ge on 12 February with the objective of joining Schultz’s party at Kildon an(now part of Winnipeg). The ostensible reason for action was to free t he Canadian prisoners in Fort Garry. The lastof them was released on 15 F ebruary, but this had no effect on Schultz, Mair, and Scott, and their re al purpose – tooverthrow the provisional government – was revealed. The P ortage party, including Boulton, decided to return homebut, contrary to B oulton’s advice, marched as a body close to Fort Garry instead of dispersi ng to make their waywest. News of the expedition had caused intense excit ement in Fort Garry and every available man was called in todefend the fo rt. When the armed Portage party approached the fort on 17 February, a sma ll force of some 50 menarrested the 48 Canadians, including Scott and Bou lton, and took them to the recently vacated cells in Fort Garry.Schult z, realizing that he was a marked man, left for Ontario.

Riel correctly believed that it was the Canadians who were responsib le for the turbulence in the settlement; theyhad twice resorted to for ce to overthrow him. One of them needed to be punished, and Boulton was co ndemned todeath, a more severe sentence than any inflicted by a Métis lea der on a disruptive member of a buffalo hunt. Anumber of people appeal ed for clemency, among them Donald Smith, but Riel only relented when he o btained fromSmith a promise to persuade the English parishes to elect rep resentatives. Thomas Scott, regarding the pardon as asign of weakness, pr oceeded to insult his Métis guards who became so angry that they would ha ve given him a severebeating had Riel not intervened. He warned Sco tt to behave. An ignorant and bigoted young man with a profoundcontempt f or all mixed-bloods, Scott thought that the Métis were cowards. When he co ntinued to make difficultiesthe guards insisted that he be tried by cou rt martial and he was charged with insubordination; Scott was sentenc ed todeath by a jury which was presided over by Ambroise-Dydime Lépine a nd which included Jean-Baptiste Lépine*,André Nault*, and Elzéar Goulet *. On this occasion the appeals of Smith and others were firmly reject ed by Riel.Whether he was worried by the signs of insubordination among h is followers, whether he persuaded himself that thesettlement was in dang er, or whether he thought it necessary to intimidate the Canadian conspira tors and showCanada that the Métis and their government would ha ve to be taken seriously, will always be debated. Professor G. F.G. Stanl ey believes the last consideration, Riel’s own explanation, to be tru e. In the settlement the death of Scott on 4March was soon forgotten b ut in Ontario the “murder” became a major issue. As people then and lat er have said, itwas Riel’s one great political blunder.

Bishop Taché arrived back in the settlement on 8 March 1870. He h ad been summoned from Rome, and as soon ashe docked at Portland, Main e, in early February, he had a request from Cartier to come to Ottawa f or discussions.Taché received a copy of the December proclamation of amne sty, which he was given to believe covered every actionthat had taken pla ce or might take place before his return to the settlement, including a ny acts of violence. When hereached Red River he extended this assuran ce categorically to Riel and Ambroise-Dydime Lépine. On 15 March Tachém et with the newly elected council and read a telegram from the secreta ry of state for the provinces, Joseph Howe*,which stated that the “Li st of Rights” was “in the main satisfactory” and that delegates should co me to Ottawa towork out an agreement. Taché then requested that the priso ners be released. Riel agreed, and the jails were againemptied.




On 22 March Ritchot, Black, and A. H. Scott received yet another “Li st of Rights,” this one prepared by theexecutive of the provisional gover nment, which included the following provisions: that a province be establi shed, notliable for any portion of the public debt of the dominion; th at during a term of five years it not be subject to any directtaxation ex cept for municipal purposes; that a sum equal to 80 cents per head be pa id annually to the province by theCanadian government; that it have contr ol of the public lands; that treaties with Indians accord with the wish es of theprovince; that uninterrupted steam communication from Upper Fo rt Garry to Lake Superior be provided and that allpublic buildings, bridg es, roads, and other public works be paid for by the federal government; t hat the English andFrench languages be used in the provincial legislatu re and courts and in all public documents and acts; that thelieutenant go vernor and the judge of the superior court should be familiar with both t he English and the Frenchlanguages; that an amnesty be extended to all me mbers of the provisional government and its servants; and that nofurth er customs duties be imposed until there was uninterrupted railway communi cation between Winnipeg and StPaul. Before the delegates left, a fourth “ List” was drawn up, doubtless with Riel’s and Taché’s blessing. This add eda provision for separate schools according to the system existing in t he province of Quebec, and outlined the structurefor a provincial governm ent. On 23 and 24 March 1870 the delegates set out for Ottawa.

When Schultz and Mair arrived in Toronto in early April they were se cretly brought in touch with George TaylorDenison* III and other membe rs of what became the Canada First group [see William Alexander Foster]. O ntarianshad been up to now rather indifferent to the events in Red Rive r, but news of Scott’s execution made it possible towhip up a frenzy of h atred against Riel and the delegates. The Denison–Schultz activists secur ed the editorialsupport of most of the Toronto newspapers. They also plan ned meetings to be addressed by Schultz and Mairthroughout the provinc e. The appeal was anti-French, anti-Catholic, and to some extent anti-Macd onald for receivinga delegation representing the “murderers” of the “hero ic” Thomas Scott. It was also arranged in Toronto that Ritchotand A. H. S cott would be arrested on a charge of abetting murder. They were indeed ar rested soon after their arrival inOttawa on 11 April, but were released b ecause the judge decided that the Toronto warrant was not legal. They we rethen immediately re-arrested on a new warrant sworn in Ottawa. When t he case was heard nine days later the crownprosecutor declined to procee d, and the delegates were finally free to pursue their mission.

On 22 April the delegates wrote to Howe requesting the opening of ne gotiations. Four days later Howe repliedwith a formal invitation to beg in talks with Macdonald and Cartier. Ritchot was the real spokesman of t he delegation,Black being inclined to compromise on the “List of Right s” and Scott being a silent supporter of Ritchot. Cartier andMacdonald ra pidly discovered that the priest was a formidable negotiator, and th at he was determined to extractconcessions that would guarantee protecti on for the original inhabitants of Red River against the anticipated infl ux ofOntario land seekers and speculators. The results of the bargainin g, embodied in the Manitoba Act of 1870, were asubstantial achievement f or Ritchot. Provincial status was granted to Manitoba (the name favour ed by Riel), althoughMacdonald and Cartier succeeded in limiting the si ze of the province to about 1,000 square miles and not the entirenorthwes t. Provincial control of natural resources, including all lands, was denie d, but after hard bargaining 1,400,000acres in the northwest were set asi de for the Métis as a compromise. Bilingualism was recognized in the proce edingsof the courts, the legislature, and in government publications. His torians have argued over whether the act was agenuine commitment to the e xtension of bilingualism to the west or, as some have suggested, mere ly a surrender toRiel’s alleged dictatorship. A critical examination of t he four lists of rights, which were the basis of the negotiationsand t he act, supports the former view. On one important point, however, Ritch ot failed dismally – an updating of theamnesty of 6 December. Becau se of the political pressure of Ontario, being whipped up by Schultz and h isassociates, all that Ritchot could obtain was an oral assurance from Go vernor General Sir John Young* and Cartierthat the British government w as being asked to intervene; Ritchot noted in his journal: “His Excellen cy assured methat . . . Her Majesty was going to proclaim a general amnes ty immediately, that we [the delegates] could set out forManitoba, that t he amnesty would arrive before us.”

Somewhat isolated from the events in Ottawa, Riel had given his atte ntion to the affairs of the settlement. Aspresident of the provisional go vernment, he had remained in Upper Fort Garry, though he returned contr ol of the fortto the HBC to allow the resumption of trade. Perhaps more i mportant, he worked assiduously to maintain thesometimes uneasy pea ce of the settlement. Nathaniel Pitt Langford, an American who visit ed it as an agent for theNorthern Pacific, met Riel at this time and wrot e: “Riel is about 28 years of age, has a fine physique, of activetemperam ent, a great worker, and I think is able to endure a great deal. He is a l arge man . . . of very winningpersuasive manners; and in his whole bearin g, energy and ready decision are prominent characteristics; – and in th isfact, lies his great powers – for I should not give him credit for gre at profundity, yet he is sagacious, and I think




thoroughly patriotic a nd no less thoroughly incorruptible.”

Ritchot arrived back in Red River on 17 June 1870 and met immediate ly with Riel who expressed satisfaction withthe priest’s account of event s. A week later, when the assembly met in Upper Fort Garry, Ritchot outlin ed thereception given to the delegation in Ottawa, which he describ ed as generally friendly. On the question of amnesty heforecast that sin ce the Canadian government was unable or unwilling to issue it before unio n, it would be forthcomingfrom the queen. The assembly thereupon, on 24 J une, unanimously approved the terms of the Manitoba Act. To Rielthe prosp ects seemed bright. But Bishop Taché was worried because Ritchot had not b rought back a writtenguarantee of amnesty. Fearing that he was vulnerab le to charges of misrepresentation, Taché returned to Ottawa to seeCartie r, but he received only the same sort of assurances as those given Ritchot .

A new concern had appeared in May 1870 when a military expedition h ad been dispatched to Red River underColonel Garnet Joseph Wolsele y* on an “errand of peace.” The Canadian government had been considering s uch anexpedition for some months, but Ontario’s demand for action had mu ch to do with its realization. Indeed, althoughWolseley was a British off icer, and the expedition had imperial troops as well as militia units, t he latter weredominated by young Ontario Orangemen thirsting for Métis bl ood, Riel’s in particular.

Throughout the negotiations, and in the early summer, Riel had gro wn uneasy about a deterioration of his support.Some Métis, mostly establi shed farmers and traders, had never actually accepted his leadership and r egarded him asan upstart. Another group, Professor William Lewis Morto n* notes, “alternately supported and opposed him.” Thiswas a St Bonifa ce élite whose members are to be distinguished from the hunters and unempl oyed tripmen amongwhom Riel drew his strongest support. At the same tim e, Riel was concerned about the weakening of the alwaysfragile relatio ns between the Métis and the English-speaking elements in the settlemen t. But perhaps most important,he was worried by reports of the attitu de of the Ontario volunteers in the approaching Wolseley expedition. Willi amBernard O’Donoghue had been sowing seeds of mistrust of all Canadian po liticians and seemed to be gaining influence,even though Taché on his arr ival in St Boniface on 23 August assured Métis leaders that “there was n ot the slightestdanger.” But on the same day news arrived that the troo ps were nearing Red River; a governor had still not arrived toestablish c ivil government, nor had word of the promised amnesty.

On 24 August Riel learned that the soldiers were planning to lynch h im; he vacated Upper Fort Garry a few hoursahead of them. Accompani ed by O’Donoghue and a few others, Riel crossed the Red River to Taché’s p alace in StBoniface. He told the bishop he had been deceived, but adde d: “No matter what happens now, the rights of the métisare assured by t he Manitoba Bill; it is what I wanted – My mission is finished.” Riel th en proceeded to his home innearby St Vital, where his mother lived; but g rowing more apprehensive about his safety he took refuge at St Joseph’smi ssion, about ten miles south of the border in Dakota Territory.

The new lieutenant governor, named on 15 July 1870, was Adams Geor ge Archibald*, a father of confederationfrom Nova Scotia and a memb er of parliament. He arrived in the settlement on 2 September and was at o nceconfronted with the problem of maintaining order. Winnipeg was a pla ce of riotous turbulence. Two Métis wereamong those killed [see Elzéar Go ulet] and sympathizers with the resistance were threatened or assault ed by theOntario militia volunteers who seemed bent on nothing short of a ssassinating all the Métis. Faced with this difficultsituation Archiba ld went about the business of establishing a civil administration. Flue nt in French, he formed a firstprovincial cabinet which was strictly bi-r acial in character and had no members from the Canadian party. Alfred Boyd* became provincial secretary and Marc-Amable Girard* provincial treasure r.

Riel was pleased with the results of the first provincial electio n, held in December 1870, in which a majority of theelected members seem ed well disposed towards him. He must have been particularly pleased th at Donald Smithdefeated Schultz in Winnipeg, though Schultz was subsequen tly elected to the House of Commons, along with Smithand a Métis, Pier re Delorme. In February 1871, however, Riel became seriously ill, mental ly overburdened withconcern about his personal safety and with finding fi nancial support for his family. It was not until May 1871 that hewas stro ng enough to return home to St Vital.

Riel’s old associate, O’Donoghue, had by this time rejected his form er chief; the parting of ways had occurred on17 Sept. 1870 when, at a mee ting at St Norbert which Riel attended, the latter had opposed O’Donoghue ’s pleas toask for the intervention of the United States in favour of t he Métis. By October 1871 he had become the leader of a




band of Fenians ba sed across the international boundary. Having secured the support of Jo hn O’Neill* of Ridgewayfame, and counting on general support among the Mé tis, O’Donoghue planned to invade Manitoba. On 5 October heand some 35 fo llowers crossed the border and captured the small HBC trading post of Pemb ina. But the Métis didnot join them. Indeed, two Métis took O’Donoghue pr isoner and turned him over to the American authorities. Theinvasion had l asted one day. However, the many rumours in Winnipeg concerning the seriou sness of the Fenian threathad caused Archibald to issue a proclamati on on the 4th calling on all loyal men “to rally round the flag.” Sever alcompanies of armed horsemen were recruited, one of them under the comma nd of Riel. Archibald went to St Bonifaceto review the volunteers, was gi ven a cordial reception, and shook hands with their leaders, including Rie l.Archibald’s gesture was what Riel’s lay and clerical friends had hop ed for, because it implied that he would no longerbe an object of persecu tion. There were few in the province who thought of hanging Riel.

But when news of Archibald’s action reached Ontario there was an out burst of indignation. Mair was outragedand Denison led a campaign for h is recall. Though both houses of the Manitoba legislature had enthusiastic allyendorsed Archibald’s action, Riel became a political issue in Ontari o. Premier Edward Blake*, in 1872, went as far asto offer a $5,000 rewa rd to anyone who would bring about the arrest of Scott’s “murderers.” F or Macdonald it wasessential to avoid a Quebec-Ontario confrontation ov er the Riel question, or any other question, before the 1872general elect ion. Tension would subside, he believed, if Riel could be induced to st ay out of Canada for a time. Tachéwas to be the agent of this manœuvre. M acdonald gave him $1,000 and when Taché returned to the northwest hepersu aded Smith to add £600 to an expense fund for Riel’s needs and the suppo rt of his family. Although he wasbitter over his treatment, Riel accept ed voluntary exile. He and Ambroise-Dydime Lépine made their way to St Pau l,where they arrived on 2 March 1872. From St Paul Riel carried on an ext ensive correspondence with his friends in thesettlement, particularly wi th Joseph Dubuc*, who had moved to St Boniface from Quebec in 1870 at t he urging ofRiel, Ritchot, Taché, and Cartier. But Riel felt increasing ly insecure in St Paul, a centre swarming with Ontarians enroute to Manit oba who could easily be induced by Schultz and the Ontario government’s re ward to effect his arrest.Believing he would be safer among his friend s, Riel returned to Red River in late June.

Dubuc and others now urged Riel to be a candidate for the ridi ng of Provencher in the September 1872 federalgeneral election. He agree d, despite warnings that he would be murdered if he set foot in Ottawa. B ut there was a newturn of events: Cartier was defeated in Montreal East e arly in September and Macdonald turned to Manitoba to find aseat for h is Quebec lieutenant. Riel agreed to withdraw his candidature, as did h is opponent Henry Joseph Clarke, infavour of Cartier, on condition th at a settlement be reached on the guarantees made to the Métis regarding l and. Thequestion of amnesty he was prepared to leave to Cartier, whose sy mpathy on this point was a matter of record. On14 September Cartier was e lected by acclamation, but a mob of Canadians wrecked the offices of the t wo pro-Rielnewspapers, the Weekly Manitoban (Winnipeg) and Le Métis (St B oniface). Even Smith was attacked by theWinnipeg rowdies.

For the next few months Riel was inactive. In Ottawa a renewed effo rt was made to secure the promised amnesty,but Macdonald was adamant; h is political position was too weak after the election. The kaleidosco pe of politicschanged once again when Cartier died on 20 May 1873 in Lond on. The champion of French rights in Manitoba, andthe chief propone nt in cabinet of an amnesty for Riel, was gone.

The death of Cartier meant a by-election would have to be held in Pr ovencher, and Riel agreed to let his namestand, even though some of his f riends predicted that he would never be allowed to take his seat and mig ht well bekilled; in fact, a warrant was issued at Winnipeg in Septemb er for Riel’s arrest, as well as that of Ambroise-DydimeLépine, for the “ murder” of Scott. Lépine was arrested at St Vital, but Riel escaped aft er being warned by AndrewGraham Ballenden Bannatyne. Riel was determin ed to plead his own case in parliament, where he knew he wouldhave stro ng support among the French Canadian members. In the October by-electi on he was unopposed.Accompanied by Joseph Tassé*, Riel made his way to Mo ntreal where Honoré Mercier* and two other friendsconveyed him to Hul l. At the last moment, however, Riel lost his courage and did not enter Ot tawa, probablybecause he feared assassination or arrest on the murder cha rge. He returned to Montreal and in due course made hisway to Plattsbur g, N.Y., where he stayed with Oblate fathers. Here he was near Keesevill e, a French Canadianlumber town, and, tired and depressed, he was often w armly received by the parish priest, Fabien Martin, dit BarnabéIn Novemb er 1873 the Macdonald government resigned because of the Pacific Scanda l; Alexander Mackenzie*became Liberal prime minister and called a gener al election for February 1874. In this election, which the Liberals won,R iel easily defeated Joseph Hamelin, the Liberal candidate in Provencher a nd a Métis who had not participated in the




movement of 1869–70. Dubuc a nd Ritchot had campaigned actively on Riel’s behalf. He travelled to Otta wa wherehe signed the oaths’ book, but he was soon expelled from the hou se on the motion of Mackenzie Bowell*, secondedby Schultz. In September 1 874, with the encouragement and support of Alphonse Desjardins*, Emmanuel- PersillierLachapelle*, and the ultramontane Conservatives in Quebec, Ri el was re-elected in the by-election in Provencher. Henow saw his electi on as not only a victory for the Métis cause but also for the asserti on of French and Catholic rightsin Manitoba and the North-West Territorie s. However, he did not take his seat. Instead, he settled with Abbé Martin, Keeseville being close enough to Montreal to permit easy return to Cana da. Here he learned that he had beenexpelled from the house for a seco nd time.

On 13 October, in Winnipeg, Lépine’s trial got under way after a ye ar of delay, with Joseph Royal* and theprominent Quebec Conservative, Jos eph-Adolphe Chapleau*, as defence counsel. In the first week of November Lépine was found guilty of Scott’s murder and sentenced to death by Chief J ustice Edmund Burke Wood, despite thejury’s recommendation for mercy. Que bec was outraged at the outcome of the trial and the newspapers demanded amnesty for Lépine and Riel. What saved Lépine and assisted Mackenzie in h is dilemma, for he could not accede toQuebec without offending Ontario, w as the intervention of the governor general, Lord Dufferin [Blackwood* ]; on hisown authority Dufferin in January 1875 commuted the death senten ce to two years’ imprisonment and the permanentforfeiture of political ri ghts. Mackenzie, emboldened by the governor general’s move, secured parlia mentary approvalin February of an amnesty for Riel and Lépine, condition al on their banishment for five years. As a member in theOntario Legislat ive Assembly Mackenzie had been strongly anti-Riel. As a prime minist er of Canada, however, hewas forced to equivocate and compromise until Du fferin had provided a way out of the impasse. Ironically, perhaps,Mackenz ie’s actions resolved the prickly amnesty question.

Riel, exiled and with little apparent future, became more preoccupi ed with religious than political matters. Duringthe strain of the previo us five years he had suffered from bouts of nervous exhaustion, but now h is mental andphysical behaviour often revealed an obsession with the id ea of a “mission”: he saw himself at once as the guardian ofthe spiritu al well-being of the Métis and as the prophet and priest of a new fo rm of Christianity. He based much ofthis belief on a supportive lett er he received from Bishop Ignace Bourget of Montreal on 14 July 187 5, in which thebishop stated: “I have the deep-seated conviction that y ou will receive in this life, and sooner than you think, thereward for a ll your mental sacrifices. . . . For He has given you a mission which y ou must fulfil in all respects.” Rielalready had experienced a mystical v ision and an uncontrollable emotional seizure during a visit to Washingto n, D.C.,in December 1874, and at Keeseville, Abbé Martin’s household w as being terrified by Riel’s continuous shouting andcrying. Unable to gi ve him solace, the kindly priest appealed for help to Riel’s uncle, John L ee, who lived nearMontreal. Riel stayed with the Lees for several month s, until his continued religious mania finally resulted in theinterrupti on of a church service. The unbearable strain on his household induced L ee to consult Riel’s political friend,Doctor Lachapelle, who arranged f or Riel’s admission to the asylum at Longue-Pointe (Hôpital Louis-H. LaFon taine,Montréal) on 6 March 1876, under the name Louis R. David.

The supervising doctor, Dr Henry Howard, agreed that confinement w as the only course available to Riel’sfriends. However, Howard was much i mpressed by Riel’s intelligence and knowledge of classical philosophy, t hevarieties of Christian belief, and Judaism. In commenting on Riel’s pec uliar theological ideas, he later wrote: “I nevercould satisfy myself tho roughly as to whether this sort of talk was not acting a part or an halluc ination.” During hisbrief stay at Longue-Pointe Riel continued to alterna te between periods of lucidity and irrationality. The sisters inchar ge of the asylum feared that his political enemies would discover his pres ence and in May 1876 Lachapellecertified that Riel required constant atte ntion and treatment which could only be provided in the Beauport asylum (Centre hospitalier Robert-Giffard) outside Quebec City. At Beauport Riel br ooded on his mission and also occasionallybecame violent and excite d. He wrote notes elaborating his theological principles, which were a fan tastic mélange ofChristian and Judaic ideas. But in time, although he cou ld still be irrational on religious and political subjects, rest andca lm had their effect. After a little more than a year and a half the medic al superintendent of Beauport, Dr François-Elzéar Roy, discharged Riel wi th a warning to live a quiet life – if possible an outdoor life.

For the balance of 1877 and much of 1878 Riel was at Keeseville a nd other centres where he hoped to find work.Late in 1878 he went to St P aul. He discovered that many of the Métis in Manitoba had sold their la nd to Winnipegland speculators, because they had no funds or skill to far m, and had moved to the valleys of the Saskatchewan andupper Missou ri to hunt the now scarce buffalo. Riel travelled to the Canadian borde r, where he was visited by friendsand members of his family; he learned t hat the Métis did not believe he had ever been insane, despite his sojou rn in




two Quebec asylums. He confided to a few friends that he had pretend ed to be mad.

With his exile still a year to run, Riel joined those Métis who, alo ng with Indians of the Canadian plains, werewandering in the upper Missou ri area of Montana territory, and he became a trader and interpreter. He f oundwidespread economic hardship and demoralization among the Métis in th is turbulent frontier area. At this time Riel,bearded and handsome, w as in the prime of life. In 1881 he married a Métis girl, Marguerite Mone t, dit Bellehumeur.He had had a passionate love affair with Évelina Marti n, dit Barnabé, sister of the parish priest of Keeseville, butdespite h er desire to join him in Montana, Riel had broken the engagement, apparent ly because he could offer her nosuitable home in the circumstances und er which he was forced to live.

Riel soon involved himself in the turbulent politics of Montan a, in spite of the warning that he should live a quietlife. He associat ed himself with the local Republican party because it seemed to be the be st hope for procuring areserve for the Métis and for curbing the whisky t rade which was demoralizing his people. Appointed a deputy tofight this t rade, Riel also participated in the 1882 congressional election. His invol vement in the election subsequentlyproduced a worrisome court case abo ut vote manipulation, but in the end the charges against Riel were dismiss ed forinsufficient evidence. In March 1883 he became an American citize n. That June he visited Winnipeg but returned toMontana determined to thr ow in his lot with his people there. In 1884 he accepted an invitation fr om the Jesuits tobecome the teacher at St Peter’s mission on the Sun Rive r, a tributary of the Missouri. He was a good teacher andconscientious, t hough as the months passed he became restless and bored by the routine.

But his people in the northwest did not forget him. It is not cle ar who in the District of Lorne was most influentialin soliciting Riel ’s assistance with their grievances against the Canadian government. Gabri el Dumont*, the famousbuffalo hunter, who had apparently met Riel at R ed River in 1870, had been the recognized leader of the Métiscommuni ty at Saint-Laurent (Saint-Laurent-Grandin, Sask.) since the early 1870 s. His agreement with those whowished to solicit Riel’s help, namely t he Ontario settler William Henry Jackson* and English-speaking mixed-blo odAndrew Spence of Prince Albert (Sask.), carried great weight, especial ly when he himself became one of the delegateswho went to Montana to cont act Riel in June 1884. The invitation to come to the South Saskatchewan of fered Rielan opportunity to lead his people, a mission he had cherished f or a decade. He agreed to assist in presenting thegrievances of the distr ict to the Canadian government and added that he would use this opportuni ty to pursue hispersonal claim for land in Manitoba. The delegation accep ted these terms, and Riel left Montana confident that Godwould give him t he success he longed for and that he would return home in September to con tinue his fight for theMétis there.

When Riel reached Batoche (Sask.) in the District of Lorne at the be ginning of July 1884 he found an unhappy andangry population, white, Indi an, and Métis. The relocation of the Canadian Pacific Railway’s main li ne in thesouthern prairie region had produced a collapse of land valu es in nearby Prince Albert. Settlers did not hold clear titleto their la nd despite the fact that many had lived for over three years in the distri ct. For the more than 1,400 Métis inthe area, the questions of unextingui shed Indian rights to the land and the land surveys were the major issue s. TheseMétis had been semi-nomadic hunters living far west of the Red Ri ver, who had not participated in the events of1869–70. With the disappear ance of the buffalo and with the encouragement of the missionaries, they w ere nowbeginning to settle into farming communities. Those who had settl ed first obtained the traditional and much preferredriver lots; but aft er a federal survey in 1882 Métis settlers were forced to occupy square lo ts, and the federalgovernment was refusing to re-survey the area.

Agitation for redress of grievances by white settlers had begun as e arly as 1883 with the formation of theManitoba and North West Farmers’ Co -operative and Protective Union to petition the federal government. That same year the Settlers’ Union was formed by the Lorne radicals, and Jackso n, its secretary, had been commissioned tocontact the Métis of Saint-Laur ent. Dumont had been cooperative, and in March 1884 had urged the preparat ion of a“list of rights,” though some of the more militant Métis suggest ed action by force of arms. Yet in July, when Rieladdressed meetings, fir st of Métis at Charles Nolin’s house at Batoche, then of several hundred E nglish-speakingsettlers at Red Deer Hill, he impressed everyone with h is moderation. About a week later he went to another meeting,where mo st of Prince Albert was in attendance, and again advocated a peaceful pres entation of grievances andproposals. Riel’s calmness and moderation gain ed him the support of most settlers, and put him in a position of someinf luence.




Meanwhile the Plains Cree leader, Big Bear [Mistahimaskwa], and h is followers, assembled in June 1884 on thereserve of Poundmaker [Pðtikwa hanapiwðyin], were formulating demands to be made to the Indian Affairs br anch ofthe federal government. Poundmaker and Big Bear were aware of t he agitation in Lorne and held meetings with Rielsoon after his arriv al in the district. However, the native peoples’ grievances had litt le in common with those Rielnow represented, and these meetings did nothi ng to bring the two movements closer together.

The early favourable response to Riel among the white settlers yield ed to growing opposition. The Prince AlbertTimes and Saskatchewan Revi ew reversed its editorial policy, having been bribed by Edgar Dewdney*, t he Indiancommissioner and lieutenant governor of the territories. In addi tion, Riel did not have the support of the clergy. FatherAlexis André* ch arged Riel with mixing religion and politics. On 1 Sept. 1884 Bishop Vital -Justin Grandin* of StAlbert paid a conciliatory visit to Saint-Laurent a ccompanied by Amédée-Emmanuel Forget*, secretary to Dewdney;there is so me evidence that Forget attempted, unsuccessfully, to “buy” Riel with a se at on the Council of the North-West Territories. Dumont calmed events some what by explaining: “We need him [Riel] here as our political leader. Ino ther matters I am the chief here.” Riel explained to Grandin what he wante d: “the inauguration of a responsibleGovernment”; “the same privileg es to the old settlers of the North-West Territories as those accord ed to the oldsettlers of Manitoba”; the granting of “the lands, at presen t, in possession of the Halfbreeds” to them “in fee simple,”and the issui ng of patents to them “on application”; 240 acres for all mixed-bloods; t he income from the sale of twomillion acres for the support of schools, h ospitals, and orphanages and for the purchase of ploughs and of grain; a ndfor all “works and contracts of the Government in the North-West Territ ories be given, as far as practicable toresidents therein, in order to en courage them as they deserve and to increase circulation of cash in the Te rritories.”

Riel and Jackson busied themselves at Prince Albert with the petitio n, and on 16 December it was sent to Ottawa,signed by Andrew Spence as ch airman and Jackson as secretary of the joint English-Métis organization. T he petitionwas a long one with 25 sections, land claims occupying a promi nent place. The grievances of the Métis and Indianswere recited and it w as noted that while the territories had an population of 60,000, Manito ba had been grantedprovincial status with only 12,000. The petitioners th us included the suggestion that they “be allowed as in [1870], tosend Del egates to Ottawa with their Bill of rights; whereby an understanding m ay be arrived at as to their entry intoconfederation, with the constituti on of a free province.” The petition was acknowledged by Chapleau, the sec retaryof state, and was referred to David Lewis Macpherson*, the minist er of the interior, by Macdonald, the primeminister, who subsequently den ied having received it. The acknowledgement by Chapleau was regarded by Ja cksonas a victory.

The question now arose for Riel as to whether or not to return to Mo ntana as he had originally planned. At thesame time he had not forgott en that his own land claims had not yet been settled by the federal govern ment. Certainlyhe was a poor man who lived by charity and he had not hidd en from the delegation the fact that he wished to pressthese claims: und er the Manitoba Act, he pointed out, 240 acres were owing to him. He al so had owned five lotswhich were of value for their hay, wood, and proxim ity to the Red River. He estimated that in all he was due a sum of$35,00 0. However, the federal government remained insensitive not only to Riel ’s claims but to the grievances of thepetition.

By the end of February 1885 Riel had agreed to stay, claiming th at “a vast multitude of nations” was waiting tosupport him. However, alth ough the missionaries were sympathetic to the Métis cause they opposed a ny use offorce or any encouragement of the Indians; by March Métis frustr ation had led to talk of resort to arms. Because ofthe opposition from t he clergy and from some Métis, including Nolin, to violence, on 10 March t he Métis decided tobegin a novena, timed to end on the 19th, feast d ay of St Joseph, the patron saint of the Métis, to assist them in arriving at a decision. But, during a mass in the church at Saint-Laure nt on 15 March, Riel remonstrated with the priest,Father Vital Fourmon d, on his attitude to a Métis armed movement, in effect making a final bre ak from the church.He was becoming more and more mystical and pietisti c, and he spent much time in prayer. He deepened his rupturewith the cler gy by preaching his own theology to his followers; he renamed the da ys of the week, put the Lord’s Dayon Saturday as in Mosaic law, propos ed that there be a new pope (Bourget, and later Taché), rejected the ru le ofRome, and suggested that everyone would be priests in a new reform ed Catholicism.

Frustrated by the lack of federal action, Riel was, in fact, havi ng a renewed period of mental disturbance. But theappeal of his charismat ic personality was strong, and by this time his more militant followers we re seizing shotguns,rifles, and ammunition. On 18 March, hearing a rumo ur that 500 North-West Mounted Police were advancing towards




them, Riel a nd approximately 60 supporters ransacked stores and seized a number of peo ple, including Indian AgentJohn Bean Lash, near Batoche. Riel announced t hat “Rome has fallen” and that Bourget was the new pope. Thatevening at S aint-Laurent he signed his name Louis “David” Riel, and the next day he fo rmed a provisionalgovernment, composed of 15 councillors, known as the “e xovedate,” which meant “those picked from the flock.” Rielwas not a membe r; to be one would not have fitted his role as a prophet by divine sanctio n.

Riel was nevertheless the undisputed leader of the movement, Dumo nt being the military head. Their intentionwas first to take Fort Carlto n, and they tried without success to enlist the active support of the Engl ish-speakingmixed-bloods. Needing supplies for his troops, Dumont ransack ed a store at Duck Lake on 25 March. He thenproceeded west and the next d ay encountered by chance a force commanded by NWMP Superintendent Leif New ryFitzroy Crozier*. Despite the fact that the Métis were protected by nat ural cover and occupied high ground, Crozier,an impetuous and excitable o fficer, gave the order to fire. Of the government’s 100 men, 12 were kill ed and 11wounded. The Métis lost only five of about 300 men. If Riel, w ho had given the order to return the fire from thepolice, had not stopp ed the fighting, the government forces would have been annihilated. Riel a nd his followers spentthe rest of the day in prayers for their dead, retu rning to Batoche on 31 March.

By early April Riel had given up hope of support from the English ha lf-breeds and the whites, although he didstill expect to be able to ma ke alliances with the various Indian groups, who by this time had also tak en up arms. AtBattleford, Poundmaker’s followers had broken into the buil dings in the town, and the residents had been forced totake refuge in t he NWMP barracks. At Eagle Hills the Stonies had killed a white farm instr uctor. On Big Bear’sreserve the war chief, Wandering Spirit [Kapapamahcha kwew] had displaced Big Bear and led the band in the violentattack on Fr og Lake (Alta) on 2 April, where nine people were killed [see Léon-Adéla rd Fafard]. Riel sent messagesto the Indians to join the Métis movemen t, but chronic factionalism among the various Indian groups and a la ck ofunderstanding of Riel’s goals produced only a few recruits. The Indi an movement itself was never able to put up aunited front, despite Big Be ar’s efforts in this direction, and lack of concerted action was a major c ause of itscollapse.

The events at Frog Lake, although the responsibility of the India ns and not the Métis, aroused horror and hatredof Riel throughout Engli sh Canada. That both Métis and Indians had legitimate grievances was ignor ed. Macdonalddecided to crush the revolt, calling on Major-General Freder ick Dobson Middleton*, then commanding the Canadianmilitia, to take the f ield. Middleton formulated a simple plan: he would march on Riel at Batoc he from FortQu’Appelle (Sask.); at the same time Major-General Thomas Bla nd Strange* would march from Calgary to engage BigBear, and proceed to jo in forces with Middleton; and Lieutenant-Colonel William Dillon Otter* w as to relieveBattleford. Otter was successful, but suffered a serious set back at Cut Knife Hill (Sask.) at the hands ofPoundmaker’s warriors. Midd leton was fired on by the Métis at Fish Creek (Sask.) on 24 April and w as not able tocontinue his march to Batoche until 7 May.

The Métis were preparing their defences at Batoche, a series of pi ts skilfully hidden in the bush. Dumont, toorealistic to believe that h is forces could defeat the Canadians, had hoped that a well-conducted guer rilla campaignwould force the government to negotiate. Riel had opposed t hese tactics and had decided upon concentrating theirforces, about 1 75 or 200 men, at Batoche – in his mind the city of God. When Middleton ’s force of more than 800men advanced on the village on 9 May, the resu lt was a foregone conclusion despite what the English Canadian presslat er called the heroics of the militia led by Colonel Arthur Trefusis Henea ge Williams. The battle, and the rebellion,was over on 12 May.

Dumont fled to the United States; on 15 May Riel, “cold and forlorn ,” chose to surrender to the scouts of theNWMP, who described him as “car eworn and haggard; he has let his hair and beard grow long; He is dress ed in apoorer fashion than most of the half breeds captured. While talki ng to Gen’l Middleton as could be seen from theoutside of the tent, his e yes rolled from side to side with the look of a hunted man; He is evident ly the mostthoroughly frightened man in camp . . . .” On the following d ay the minister of militia, Joseph-Philippe-René-AdolpheCaron*, instruct ed Middleton to send Riel to Winnipeg under guard for trial, but Macdona ld and his cabinet came torealize that if the trial was held in Winnip eg a unanimous verdict might not be secured, a distinctly unpleasant prospect for the government. When the party reached Moose Jaw (Sask.) on the CP R, it was redirected by Caron to Regina,where it arrived on 23 May 188 5. In the territorial capital and its neighbourhood, hostility to the pris oner prevailed.




The difference in site also meant a different court procedure. Und er Manitoba law a prisoner was entitled to a 12-man jury and half the ju ry might be French-speaking. On the other hand, the federal law governi ng court procedure inthe territories called for only a six-man jury, wi th no assurance of bilingual rights. Moreover, at a trial held in one of the provinces the case would be heard by a superior court judge whose indep endence was guaranteed by law andpractice. Instead, Riel was tried in Reg ina by a stipendiary magistrate who held office at the pleasure of the fed eralgovernment, and could be dismissed without cause at any time.

It was clear from the start that the trial would be a political on e, and there is indisputable evidence thatMacdonald’s objective was to f ix exclusive responsibility on Riel and to secure his conviction and execu tion as soonas possible. It was an understandable reaction to the inflam ed opinion of Ontario, which cried for vengeance for thekilling of Thom as Scott, the whites at Frog Lake, the men at Duck Lake, and the militiam en under Middleton’scommand. But Macdonald sadly misjudged the explosi on of emotions in Quebec. In the event, the government’sconduct of the ca se was to be a travesty of justice.

When Riel was brought to Regina he was imprisoned in the NWMP barrac ks in a 6 1/2´ by 4 1/2´ foot cell andshackled with ball and chain. All t he defendants who were charged, including Jackson who had joined the Mét ismovement, were held incommunicado by the police until the chief prosecu ting attorneys arrived on 1 July. In theinterval, the government’s lawye rs were sifting the evidence against Riel and the others, and preparing t he formalcharges, utilizing the documents which had been retrieved from R iel’s headquarters and on the battlefield.

The presiding magistrate was to be Hugh Richardson*, an Englishman w ho had been named a stipendiarymagistrate by the Mackenzie administrati on in 1876 and who was a member of the Council of the North-WestTerritori es and legal adviser to the lieutenant governor of the North-West Territor ies. He was not bilingual. The fiveprosecuting attorneys were the depu ty minister of justice, George Wheelock Burbidge, as well as leading membe rs ofthe bar of eastern Canada: Christopher Robinson*, Thomas-Chase Casgr ain*, Britton Bath Osler*, and David LynchScott*. François-Xavier Lemieux *, a successful criminal lawyer, was one of those who agreed to defend Rie l, alongwith Charles Fitzpatrick*, Thomas Cooke Johnstone, and James Nais mith Greenshields, also leading members of thebar in the east.

In retrospect, the defence lawyers’ handling of Riel’s case left mu ch to be desired. They did not ask for dismissalon grounds of insanity, d espite the fact that Jackson had been so acquitted a few days before. Th ey also denied Rielthe right to cross-examine witnesses, even though ( as Riel put it during the trial) “they lose more than three-quartersof t he good opportunities of making good answers . . . ,” because they did n ot know the witnesses and the localcircumstances. All this was a serio us invasion of the prisoner’s rights by his counsel. Lemieux also declar ed that thedefence counsel would not be responsible for anything the pris oner might say during his first address to the jury. It iscurious that Ri el’s lawyers did not demand that he be tried under the Canadian statu te of 1868 which would haveallowed a charge of treason-felony with life i mprisonment as the penalty. Of the 84 trials held in Battleford and Regina for participants in the rebellion, 71 were for treason-felony, 12 for m urder, and only one, Riel’s, for high treason.The charge against Riel w as under the medieval English statute of 1352 which carried a mandatory de ath penalty.

The trial opened on 20 July with the reading of the indictment, foll owed by arguments by Riel’s counselchallenging the jurisdiction of the co urt and the trial procedure. Richardson rejected the defence arguments. Ri elpleaded not guilty. On the following day the defence counsel argued f or a postponement of the trial, on the groundsthat they would be unab le to conduct a defence in the absence of certain witnesses, including a n umber of alienists ineastern Canada. Richardson granted postponement f or one week. Riel had asked for three witnesses who had fled toMontana, G abriel Dumont and two other Métis, Napoléon Nault and Michel Dumas. Fath er André and his associateFather Fourmond did appear as defence witnesse s, but not Lawrence Vankoughnet*, the superintendent-general ofIndian aff airs, and Alexander Mackinnon Burgess*, deputy minister of the interior, w ho, Riel argued, were custodiansof documents which detailed Métis grievan ces. The third day’s proceedings began on 28 July with the empanelli ng ofthe jury. As a measure of the inevitability of the final outco me it should be noted that of the 36 persons summonedby Richardson for ju ry service only one was French-speaking, and he was prevented by an accide nt from appearing.The crown challenged one prospective juror, the only Ro man Catholic on the list. Thus, despite the fact that FrenchCanadian a nd Métis jurors could have been secured from among the population of the t erritories, Riel was tried by ajury comprised entirely of English-speaki ng Protestants.




A perusal of the evidence indicates clearly that the crown select ed witnesses who would testify that the prisonerhad used his great influe nce with the Métis to lead them to arm themselves, and subsequently had de termined thestrategy of the uprising. Dumont, the witnesses implied, h ad been responsible only for the tactics adopted in theengagements. The p rosecution elicited opinions from its witnesses that Riel’s deep religio us fervour was calculated toimpress a simpleminded folk who had become h is dupes and it made much of Riel’s negotiations with the Indians. Ital so represented the prisoner as a self-seeking villain who was prepar ed in return for $35,000 to abandon the cause ofthe Métis. The prosecuti on sought to discredit witnesses called by the defence, and objected to t he admission ofevidence on the failure of the federal government to de al with long-standing complaints. It may well have feared theeffect of su ch evidence on the jurors because even at this early date most westerne rs felt alienated by policies made inOttawa for the benefit of central Ca nada.

Both Father André and Father Fourmond, questioned on Riel’s behaviou r, politics, and religion, were unshakeablein their opinion that Riel w as insane. Defence counsel’s star witness was Dr François-Elzéar Roy, supe rintendent ofthe Beauport asylum, who stated that Riel suffered from mega lomania (today often referred to as paranoia). Roy wassubjected to a sava ge cross-examination by Osler, whose questions implied that Roy had a fina ncial interest inkeeping patients in his custody. Dr Daniel Clark*, super intendent of the lunatic asylum in Toronto, testified that Rielwas insan e, but admitted he would have to have him under observation for some mont hs before he could be positivethat he was not malingering. Clark was high ly critical of the McNaghten rules; this legal precedent established th at adefence of insanity could be accepted only if it could be proved th at the accused did not know the difference betweenright and wrong. To com bat the impressive evidence of Riel’s insanity the crown counsel resort ed to extraordinarymeasures. Dr James Wallace, medical superintende nt of the insane asylum in Hamilton, Ont., testified that Riel wassan e, on the basis of about half an hour’s interview and listening to the tri al proceedings. Not only was hisexamination superficial, but defence coun sel Charles Fitzpatrick elicited that Wallace had never read the wor ks of theleading French authorities on megalomania. Dr Augustus Jukes*, t he NWMP surgeon, was forced to admit underdefence questioning that one co uld converse with a man and not be aware of insanity. With its case in su ch aprecarious state, the prosecution recalled General Middleton and fo ur other laymen who had had brief contacts withRiel.

The defence counsel could have made better use of Dr Clark’s evidenc e, though it may have been that they hadlittle or no experience in deali ng with cases of insanity, or they may have had too little time to prepa re their defenceor to consult alienists in advance. Yet another curious f eature of the conduct of the case was that the defence did notattem pt to subpoena the diary which Riel kept between March and May 1885 and wh ich was picked up on thebattlefield along with his other papers and shipp ed to the Department of Justice in Ottawa. The Toronto Globe hadpublish ed most of this diary by the time the trial began in Regina. The diary dis plays a curious mixture of prayersand pious assertions with religious int erpretations of the events of the rebellion.

Fitzpatrick summed up the case for acquittal in perhaps the most pas sionately eloquent address ever heard in aCanadian courtroom. The first p art was devoted to an exposition of the historic role of the Métis in t he northwest,and the disabilities under which they had suffered. The rema inder dealt cogently with Riel’s actions during therebellion, which we re held to be incompatible with those of a sane man. The address had a pro found effect on thosepresent in the court, including the jurors. The jud ge then called on Riel, asking him whether he had anything to say.Riel wo uld have preferred to defer his remarks until after the crown counsel h ad made its summation; but the judgedenied the request. Riel then proceed ed to address the court. The intense religiosity of the prisoner, a notab le featureof his personality, was evident from the beginning and througho ut his remarks. He spoke in a clear, eloquent, andearnest manner and dea lt particularly with the question of his insanity. The address was quite r ational in itsdescription of the undemocratic institutions which prevail ed in the territories. Robinson’s summation for theprosecution was relati vely brief and unemotional, and was chiefly concerned with the defence th at Riel was insane.“My learned friends,” he sagely observed, “must make t heir choice between their defences. They cannot claim fortheir client wh at is called a niche in the temple of fame and at the same time assert th at he is entitled to a place in alunatic asylum.” Riel, he continued, “ is neither a patriot nor a lunatic.” How could a man live for 18 mont hs as themost prominent man in the district without his insanity being de tected? Robinson could find no evidence that Rielcontrolled his mania a nd used it for his own purpose. Finally, Robinson was dissatisfied with t he evidence that hadbeen provided by the defence concerning the circumsta nces of his incarceration in the two asylums.

The judge’s charge to the jury was clearly biased against Riel. Rich ardson reiterated his claim that the court had




full jurisdiction. In deali ng with the question of insanity he suggested that Riel’s claim for $35,00 0, and thedisappearance of his irritability when brought to Regina, we re facts which demonstrated reasoning power. Richardsonconcluded by aski ng the jury to apply the McNaghten rules to the case. On 1 August the ju ry returned a verdict ofguilty with a recommendation of mercy. Richards on passed the death sentence.

But before delivering the sentence Richardson asked Riel the customa ry question of whether he had anything tosay to the court. Riel seized t he opportunity to deliver a much longer speech than the one he had made t he previousafternoon. It was an entirely secular argument, with the excep tion of three brief references to the Deity, to hisprophetic mission, a nd to the spirit which had guided his activities. He began by expressing s atisfaction that he hadnot been regarded as insane. He then turned to a r ecital of the Manitoba disturbances of 1869–70, two-thirds of hisremar ks being devoted to this theme. Turning to his ambitions for the northwes t, he described the policy he wouldfollow if he were federal minist er of immigration and his programme for settling the prairies. In essen ce it was a notunreasonable programme for creating a multi-cultural socie ty. At the same time the address has shrewd observationsand moving passag es which typify the rhetorical power that had given him such an influen ce in the Métiscommunity.

The verdict was appealed to the Court of Queen’s Bench of Manitoba ( the appeal court for the territories), andsubsequently to the Judicial Co mmittee of the Privy Council, but the appeals were dismissed. Meanwhile, p etitionsfor the commutation of the death sentence flooded into Ottawa fr om thousands of French Canadians in Quebec,Massachusetts, and Manitob a. A considerable number of counter-petitions were sent from Ontario. T hecommutation petitions were based on the argument that Riel was insane a nd hence not responsible for his actionsduring the rebellion, or that h is crime was a political one for which civilized nations no longer exact ed the deathpenalty. Riel’s fate had become a national issue that threate ned to divide the cabinet, indeed the country, and a vastamount of editor ial commentary was produced on the subject. Ontario newspapers favoured t he execution and atleast one, the Toronto News, went as far as to begin a dvocating polarization of politics on racial lines. On the otherhand, Que bec journalists were highly critical of Macdonald and his cabinet, especia lly his French Canadian colleagues.Despite the immense pressure from ma ss meetings in Quebec, Chapleau, Hector-Louis Langevin*, and Caron did n otresign, perhaps saving the country from further racial and religious co nflict.

As a result of the insistence of Macdonald’s French Canadian cabin et colleagues, he nevertheless agreed to haveRiel re-examined. On 31 Oc t. 1885 three doctors were instructed to report to the government on wheth er the prisonerwas a reasonable and accountable being who could proper ly be executed. They were Dr Jukes of Regina, Dr François-Xavier Valad e, a well-known general practitioner of Ottawa, and Dr Michael Lavell *, a specialist in obstetrics andwarden of the Kingston penitentiary. Lav ell and Jukes reported that Riel was sane. Valade’s conclusion was that Ri elwas not an accountable being, that he was unable to distinguish betwe en right and wrong on political and religioussubjects. The whole consulta tion was undertaken in the utmost secrecy. Valade’s testimony was falsifi ed by theministry in the report submitted to parliament in 1886 to ma ke it appear that he had in fact agreed with the other two.

In general, the treason charge was a legal rationalization. But ev en if treason had been a sound charge, there weregrounds for commuting t he sentence in view of the conflicting testimony on Riel’s sanity, the dic tates of mercy, andthe political character of the prosecution. In its pol itical calculation, the government sadly misjudged the situation.French C anadians understandably would be suspicious of court decisions which had a cquitted the two white settlers,Jackson and Thomas Scott, both tried f or treason-felony, while finding 20 Métis and numerous Indians guilty. Perhaps nothing else could have been expected from the 70-year-old Macdonal d, bereft of an outstanding FrenchCanadian colleague. On 16 November at t he NWMP barracks in Regina, Riel was hanged, meeting his death withdignit y, calmness, and courage.

Psychiatrists from 1885 to the present have generally agreed that Ri el suffered from megalomania. The onlydissenter has been Dr Henry Howa rd who did not regard Riel as insane in the legal sense of the term. Profe ssorThomas Flanagan argues that “a more satisfying explanation of this ma dness can be put forward than simple personalaberrancy.” Riel, he maintai ns, “and the North-West Rebellion of 1885 should be set in the conte xt of today’scomparative knowledge about millenarian movements, particula rly the nativistic cults which have been much studiedby anthropologist s. From this point of view, a great deal of the behaviour of Riel and h is followers ceases to beeccentric and inexplicable because it becomes pa rt of a pattern of events which has been repeated hundreds of times insim ilar situations in other parts of the world.” Riel, Flanagan continues, “u nderstandably . . . began to think of




himself as persecuted. His moods vac illated from depression and listlessness to exaltation. Towards the e nd of 1874,he began to see visions and have revelations about his divi ne mission. . . . [He] felt himself charged to bring about thereligious r enovation of the New World. . . . The métis were God’s chosen people wi th a mission to revive religion inAmerica. . . . [The] papacy would mo ve to St. Boniface so the pope would be among the ‘sacerdotal people.’ T hemétis would have a glorious future in the North-West, but they would n ot possess it alone and selfishly. The nationsof Europe would underta ke a vast migration. . . .”

Professor Flanagan’s view that Riel’s mysticism had produced a cul t, and that he was seeking to maintain hiscredibility among his follower s, is no doubt correct. But Riel saw himself primarily as the advoca te of justice for theMétis. Only in the 20th century have some westerne rs seen in him the pioneer of western protest movementsdirected against t he political and economic power of central Canada.

The execution of Riel caused not only an outcry in Quebec but a nota ble change in local and national politics.Shortly after, the Parti Nation al was organized in Quebec, led by Honoré Mercier, a brilliant orator. Th is party wonthe provincial election of 1886. In the federal election of 1 887 there was a significant loss of Conservative seats to theLiberals, se tting a trend which culminated in Wilfrid Laurier’s victory in 1896 a nd a fundamental realignment inCanadian national politics.

When the federal government arranged for the acquisition of Rupert ’s Land in 1870, it also procured, by anamendment of the British North Am erica Act, full and unlimited power to create any form of local governme nt that itchose, uninhibited by section 92 of the act. The boundaries giv en to Manitoba were deliberately restricted to limit thepolitical pow er of the Métis. Similarly the administrative arrangements for acquiring p ublic lands and responses toresolutions of the Council of the North-We st Territories in 1884 provided for no democratic input. Riel’s hopes f orthe “New Nation” with full and effective biculturalism were doomed fr om the start. His ambition blinded him to thesefacts.

Of the events of 1869–70 Riel could truly say during the trial of 18 85 that “through the grace of God I am thefounder of Manitoba.” It w as a voice from the past that no longer corresponded with reality eith er in Manitoba or inthe territories. There most Métis were inexorably pus hed into numerous obscure ghettos in the parklands and forestbelts oft en on the edge of Indian reserves. This was the end of the “New Nation,” a nd the ultimate tragedy of LouisRiel.

Second Generation (Parents)

2. Joseph Louis Riel, son of Jean-Baptiste Riel and Marguerite Boucher, was born on 7 Jun 1817 in Ile a la Crosse,Saskatchewan, Canada1 and died on 21 Jan 1864 in St Boniface, Manitoba, Canada.2


RIEL, LOUIS, farmer, miller, and Métis leader; b. July 1817 at Île-à-la-Cr osse (Sask.), eldest son of Jean-Baptiste Riel,dit L’Irlande, a voyageu r, and Marguerite Boucher, a Franco-Chipewyan Métisse; d. 21 Jan. 18 64 at Saint-Boniface(Man.).

In 1822 the Riel family returned to Lower Canada from the west, a nd Louis was baptized at Berthier-en-Haut(Berthierville, Que.) on 23 Sept ember. He attended a local school and learned the trade of carding wool. W hen he was21, in 1838, he returned to the northwest in the service of t he Hudson’s Bay Company. That date, and the appearanceof a flag called t he “Papineau standard” among the Métis as mentioned by Alexander Ros s* in The Red Riversettlement, cause one to wonder whether the elder Ri el had had any part in the rebellion of 1837. Like his famous son,he w as to become the champion of French and Métis rights in the northwest. F or several years Louis was stationed atRainy River. In 1842 he return ed to Lower Canada and entered the noviciate of the Oblates of Mary Immacu late atSaint-Hilaire (Mont-Saint-Hilaire), but after a short while withdr ew for lack of a sense of vocation. In the summer of1843 he returned to t he northwest and settled in the Red River colony.

Louis Riel’s river lot in Saint-Boniface was near that of voyageur J ean-Baptiste Lagemodière and his wife, Marie-Anne Gaboury*. On 21 Jan. 18 44 Riel married their daughter Julie, after a painful hesitation on her pa rt between theattraction of a religious vocation and her duty to her pare nts, who favoured the match. Julie Riel’s intense religiousspirit w as to have a great influence on her eldest son, Louis*, born in October 18 44, one of 11 children.

That son was to be influenced also by his father’s career. Louis Ri el Sr early became a man of note in the FrenchCanadian and Métis socie ty of Red River, and showed sympathy with the free traders in furs who we re challenging themonopoly of the HBC. This monopoly was tested in May 18 49 in the trial of Pierre-Guillaume Sayer*, charged by theHBC with illic it trading; Riel emerged with the Reverend George-Antoine Bellecourt* as t he adviser and leader of theMétis in support of Sayer. The jury return ed a verdict of guilty but recommended mercy, and Sayer was freed. Riel promptly asserted that the outcome of the verdict was tantamount to a surren der of the monopoly, and his assertion wasat once taken up by the Méti s. The trade was indeed to be free thereafter. Riel also took up strong ly the cause ofrepresentation of the Métis on the Council of Assiniboia a nd the use of French as well as English in the courts ofAssiniboia. Succe ss in these endeavours made him the leader of the French community in t he 1850s.

Riel had also become a man of business. He worked for the establishm ent of a fulling mill in Saint-Boniface, and in1847 opened a small mi ll on his farm with the support of chief factor John Ballenden*. But Ri el had little success withhis fulling mill. It is said he later attempte d, with some success, to open and operate a carding and grist mill, hen ce histitle of “miller of the Seine.” In 1857 he ambitiously went to Mont real to buy machinery for a textile mill, but after hisreturn with the eq uipment the venture failed.

In 1864 Riel died, mourned by his people as well as his family and n ot least by his son Louis, then at college inMontreal. If the elder Ri el had failed as a businessman, he had created for his son a traditi on of leadership which wouldalter the history of the northwest.

General Notes: DIctionary of Canadian Biography Online

LAGIMONIÈRE (Lagimodière, Lajimonière, Lavimaudier, Lavimodière), JEAN-BAP TISTE, fur trader and farmer; b.25 Dec. 1778 probably in Saint-Antoine-su r-Richelieu, Que., son of Jean-Baptiste Lagimonière, a farmer, and Marie-Joseph (Josephte) Jarret, dit Beauregard; d. 7 Sept. 1855 in St Boniface (M an.).

Jean-Baptiste Lagimonière lived in Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, a nd then at Maskinongé where his father hadsettled in 1790. Around 18 00 he went into the fur trade in the northwest as a voyageur. He spent sev eral years in theterritory to the west of Grand Portage (near Grand Porta ge, Minn.), probably in the employ of the North WestCompany. It is believ ed that he married an Indian woman à la façon du pays, and that they had t hree daughters.

Lagimonière was back with his family in Maskinongé in 1805. The re he met Marie-Anne Gaboury*, and they weremarried on 21 April 1806. Sho rtly after, he was again seized by the urge to travel, and set off with h is new wife forthe northwest. They reached Fort Daer (Pembina, N.Dak.) to wards the end of August and spent the winter there; on 6Jan. 1807 Marie-A nne gave birth to their first child, a girl they named Reine. In the spri ng the Lagimonières movedfrom Fort Daer to Fort Augustus (Edmonton) alo ng with three French Canadians and their families. They lived in thisare a, where the Hudson’s Bay Company and the NWC each maintained a trading-po st, for four years. With hisfamily, Lagimonière took part in numerous exp editions hunting buffalo and beaver, leading the life of a true “free man.” He and others kept the French Canadian and British fur traders suppli ed with meat, in addition to providing fursthat were properly prepared, t hanks to a knowledge of trading standards not possessed by the Indians.

In 1811 the Lagimonière family set off for the forks of the Red a nd Assiniboine rivers, after learning that LordSelkirk [Douglas*], a Sc ot and a shareholder of the HBC, planned to establish a farming settleme nt there. They spentthe winter at Fort Daer, and in the spring of 1812 we nt to make a permanent home in the Red River colony (Man.).Lagimonière, h owever, continued to live a hunter’s life, and between 1812 and 1815 was h ired several times by MilesMacdonell*, the colony’s governor, to supply t he settlers with food. He spent the winters with his family on theAssinib oine, near Portage la Prairie.

During these years, the intense rivalry between the HBC and the NW C, which were both seeking to control the furtrade, led to violent clash es at Red River and to the eviction of the settlers on the impetus of t he NWC in June 1815[see Archibald McDonald]. After the settlers return ed in August 1815, Colin Robertson*, the HBC agent in thecolony, hired La gimonière to carry dispatches to Lord Selkirk, who was in Montrea l. On 17 Oct. 1815, accompaniedby Bénoni Marier, an employee of the compa ny, and by an Indian guide, he left the colony on foot. Venturing on a rou

te mainly through NWC territory to the south of Lake Superior, he then pro ceeded by way of Sault Ste Marie (Ont.)and York (Toronto). On 10 March 18 16, at the end of his 1,800-mile journey, he handed the dispatches ov er to LordSelkirk. Armed with Selkirk’s replies, he set out on the same r oute at the end of March. But this time the NWCprincipals were determin ed not to let him get through, and during the night of 16 June 1816 Lagimo nière and hiscompanions were seized near Fond du Lac (Superior, Wis .) by Indians acting on the orders of one of the partners,Archibald Norm an McLeod*. They were stripped of their personal belongings and Selkirk ’s dispatches, escorted toFort William (Thunder Bay, Ont.), and then rele ased. Without provisions or the means to subsist, Lagimonière and hiscomp anions pushed on towards Red River. At the beginning of July they receiv ed help from Pierre-Paul Lacroix, whofound them on a bank of the Rainy Ri ver to the west of Fort Frances (Ont.). Lagimonière then went to Red Rive r,which he probably reached during the summer of 1816.

After this exploit, Lagimonière served as messenger for the HBC on m any occasions, as did his sons. He also beganto farm some land that Selki rk is said to have granted him for his services. It was on this land, whi ch was at the mouthof the Seine River, that he built a home where he brou ght up his family of four girls and four boys. In 1844 hisdaughter Jul ie married a neighbour, Louis Riel*, and later that year gave birth to a s on, Louis*, who was to become theprincipal leader of the Métis during t he events surrounding the entry of Manitoba into confederation. In the 183 0s and1840s Lagimonière, with the help of his four sons, was one of the m ost prosperous farmers in the Red Riversettlement. He continued to enga ge in the fur trade, and with other settlers such as Cuthbert Grant and Lo uisGuiboche was also active in the carrying trade.

Jean-Baptiste Lagimonière’s journey to Montreal in 1815–16 made h im a celebrity, but he also deserves note asone of the first French Canad ians to settle permanently in the northwest.

GABOURY, MARIE-ANNE (Lagemodière), first white woman resident in the wes t, grandmother of Louis Riel*; b. 2Aug. 1780 in Maskinongé, diocese of Tr ois-Rivières, Que., fifth child of Charles Gaboury (Gabourie) and Marie-An neTessier (Thésié); d.14 Dec. 1875 at Saint-Boniface, Man.

Following the death of her father on 7 Dec. 1792, Marie-Anne Gabou ry went into domestic service as the assistanthousekeeper to the parish p riest of Maskinongé. She remained there until her marriage, on 21 April 18 06, to Jean-Baptiste Lagemodière (sometimes written Lagimonière, Lajimodiè re, and Lagimodière), a fur-trader from the Hudson’sBay Company territori es, formerly from Maskinongé.

Immediately following her marriage she travelled with her husba nd by canoe from Montreal to Fort Gibraltar, at thejunction of the Red a nd Assiniboine rivers in present-day Winnipeg. It was a long and arduous j ourney for a youngwoman and did not end until her arrival at a Métis enca mpment on the Pembina River in the autumn. At Fort Daer(Pembina, N.D. ), on 6 Jan. 1807, her first child was born. The date being the church fes tival of the Epiphany, the babygirl was named Reine in honour of the Magi .

In the following spring the Lagemodières left Fort Daer for the Sask atchewan valley. At Cumberland House, Marie-Anne and her daughter were wel comed as the first white females to have penetrated thus far into the inte rior of thecompany’s territories. Finally, at the end of August, they fou nd themselves in the North Saskatchewan region, wherethey remained from 1 807 until 1811. In 1810 Alexander Henry Jr met Lagemodière with his fami ly at Paint Creek(Vermilion River). During these years Marie-Anne accompa nied her husband on the many hunting expeditions whichwere the way of li fe of the free-trader in the west, thus experiencing to the full the hards hips and privations that werethe lot of the pioneer woman. Several more c hildren were born to them.

When news arrived that a permanent colony was to be started under t he initiative of Lord Selkirk [Douglas*] alongthe Red and Assiniboine riv ers, Lagemodière and his family returned to Red River. They reached Red Ri ver towardsthe end of August, before the colony had really got under wa y, and continued their journey to Fort Daer. In the springthey return ed to the newly established Red River Settlement. The North West Compan y, looking upon theestablishment of the settlement as a scheme on the pa rt of the HBC to cripple its trade, undertook to destroy thecolony. Marie -Anne and her husband witnessed but took no part in the struggle between t he Nor’Westers and theSelkirk settlers. However, in October 1815 Colin Ro bertson*, the HBC representative in the region, anxious tocommunicate wi th Lord Selkirk, employed Jean-Baptiste Lagemodière to carry dispatch es to the earl in Montreal. Hemade the journey during the winter of 1815– 16, on foot and unaccompanied, travelling over 1,800 miles and successfully completing his mission. On the return journey, however, he was taken pr isoner by Indians acting in the interests of

the North West Company. He w as imprisoned in Fort William and remained there until August 1816, wh en he wasreleased following the capture of the fort by Lord Selkirk.

Meanwhile Marie-Anne had been compelled to take refuge with the Indi ans. On the arrival of Selkirk, she was oncemore reunited with her husba nd in September 1816. For his services to the earl, Lagemodière was reward ed with agrant of land lying between the east bank of the Red River and t he Seine in the vicinity of present-day Winnipeg. Herehe built a frame ho use in which he, Marie-Anne, and their expanding family lived for many yea rs. To the childrenalready mentioned, the Lagemodières added five other s, one of whom, Julie (b. 1822), became the mother of Louis Riel.

On 7 Sept. 1855 Marie-Anne’s husband died. She, however, lived to t he advanced age of 95. Deprived though sheso often was of comforts and ne cessities, her life had been one of selflessness and devotion, and she sur vived longenough to see the settlement of the west grow in strength and n umbers, and her grandson become the father of theprovince of Manitoba.

JÉRÉMIE, dit Lamontagne, NOËL, trader, clerk in the employ of the Tadouss ac trading organization, son of ClaudeJérémie and Hélène Macart; b. in 16 29 (according to the census of 1666), in 1636 (census of 1667), or in 16 38 (censusof 1681), at Mareuil-sur-Oge in Champagne (France); d. some ti me between 1694 and 1697, in New France.

On 29 Jan. 1659, shortly after his arrival in Canada, Jérémie marri ed Jeanne Pelletier at Quebec. He had alreadybeen interested in the fur t rade, travelling with his brother-in-law François Pelletier among the nort hern tribes. On 28May 1665 Jérémie entered into partnership with Charl es Amiot, Guillaume Couture*, and Sébastien Prouvereau for thepurpo se of “travelling among the tribes called Papinachoises and the northern t ribes.” This traffic did not howeverenrich him in the slightest.

By a grant from Pierre Dubois Davaugour (4 Sept. 1662), Jérémie beca me seigneur of the Île de la Patience, whichhe later gave to his relati ve Pierre Bécart de Granville. In addition he owned a house in the Lower T own of Quebecwhich had been given him by Charles Aubert* de La Chesnay e, and a piece of land at Côte Saint-Ignace, where he tookup residen ce at the end of 1666 or the beginning of 1667. But in 1671, after three y ears of litigation, his two pieces ofproperty at Quebec and Côte Saint-Ig nace were sold to satisfy his creditors. Shortly afterwards he moved his f amily toBatiscan, where they were still residing in 1681.

Jérémie turns up again in 1694. At that time he was “clerk in the em ploy of the Tadoussac trading organization,”and his family was again livi ng in the region of Quebec. He died some time between July 1694 and July 1 697.
