Louis Riel, the Canadian religious figure and prophet of a new order in the West who was plagued with bouts of insanity, was a once enigmatic man who has become one o the most closely scrutinized figures in Canadian history, leading to a century-long debate about whether Riel was a great political leader or a madman. It is a story of racism, the story of Louis Riel and of the American Indians of the Northern Great Plains, the Sioux, Cree, and Blackfeet; and of the Metis or 'half breeds' who sought to create a nation born of violence and despair, and reared to a brief glory. White men called it treason. For this Louis Riel died on the gallows in 1885, and his nation died with him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of the Pacific","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613772136599,"sku":"9781410215147","price":1425.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781410215147.webp?v=1775087771","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-story-of-louis-riel-the-rebel-chief-9781410215147","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
