Chapter Nine

OurDailyChallenge Nine

 

From "Marie-Anne" The Extraordinary Life of Louis Riel's Grandmother by Maggie Siggans. A book I have just finished reading and one I would not hesitate to recommend.

 

For any of you who may not know who Louis Riel was, he was a Metis (Half-blood white/Aboriginal Canadian) leader who instigated the Red River Rebellion and led the Province of Manitoba into the Canadian Confederation. (There is apparently a strong movement today to include Louis Riel as a Father of Confederation.)
