My great grandfather, Billy Mills was a major player with the Ontairo 7th fusileers in the Riel rebellion so I feel from first hand personal family experience I know of which I speak. Riel in my judgement and in the diary of my grandfather, wouldve been considered one of Canadas first indian rights activirtsts.
The idea he had was a separate indian nation in Canada with land granted for reparations from the Govt. unfortuately he was look at both as a hero and a tryrant by members of canadas parliment. the ideas were way ahead of their time and the governemnt and country werent ready for them.
You might want to see if you can find a movie called Riel made years ago by the cbc starring william shatner. very stilted and slanted in opinion but basically tells reils story.
agan my family is very very close to this situation so im familiar with it.

Muhammad Ali for each and all the excellent issues he did he additionally did quite a few issues that I evaluate uncalled for and IF it rather is genuine THEN ITS one among THEM.
