The audacity of his enterprise : Louis Riel and the Métis nation that Canada never was, 1840-1875

Hamon, M. Max 1980- (author.).

Summary: A political leader of the Métis people of the Canadian Prairies, Louis Riel (1844-1885) is often portrayed as a rebel. Reconstructing his experiences in the Northwest, Quebec, and the worlds in between, Max Hamon revisits Riel's life through his own eyes, illuminating how he and the Métis were much more involved in state-making than historians have previously acknowledged. Revisiting the Red River Resistance on its 150th anniversary, this book offers a new view of Riel's life and a rethinking of the history of colonialism.
