  • Summary

  • Louis Riel used his poetry to sort through his thoughts. It’s one of the ways we begin to understand the complexity of the man -- one who has been called a variety of names including: rebel, hero, traitor and lunatic. He is also called the Founder of Manitoba. In this episode host Stephanie Cram explores the legacy of Louis Riel, 150 years after he ushered Manitoba into confederation. As we explore his story, we uncover a complicated history, one that has an impact on Métis identity today. CREDITS: Stephanie Cram, Kim Kaschor, Samuel Rancourt, Janice Moeller, Bertram Schneider
