Louis Riel was a Canadian hero, without Louis Riel many rights would still be denied to metis and aboriginal citizens.

Louis Riel founded the Canadian province of Manitoba. He was a Metis - that is, he was half European half Aboriginal - and he led a resistance on behalf of the rights being denied to Metis in Manitoba. Which led to equality throughout Manitoba, mobility rights for all.

He was convicted of treason and was executed in 1885.

His first attempt in 1870 was a abject failure, and he fled to the USA, to Minnesota, where he woked as a Catholic school teacher.

In 1885, he tried it again, and eventually he was tried and hung as a traitor.

Louis Riel attempted to address these issues in a political manor but was ignored multiple times and using force was the only way to achieve the rights that were being denied to all Metis.
