Louis Riel (1844–1885) war ein kanadischer Freiheitskämpfer, der Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zwei Aufstände gegen eine rassistische, englische Regierung anführte. Als Rebell und Politiker war Gründer der heutigen Provinz Manitoba und eine Führungspersönlichkeit der Métis, also der Nachfahren europäischer Pelzhändler – insbesondere aus Frankreich, England und Schottland – und Frauen indigener Abstammung. Seine Hinrichtung 1885 löste mehrtägige Krawalle in ganz Quebec aus und wird bis heute von den Frankokanadiern als starkes Unrecht empfunden. Mittlerweile werden seine umstrittenen Handlungen als Grundlage für die Entwicklung der Rechte von Minderheiten und die Kooperation verschiedener Kulturen in Kanada anerkannt, auch dank dieser lustigen, zugänglichen und interessanten Biogra e des Comic-Stars Chester Brown, die als meistverkaufte kanadische Graphic Novel gilt.

About the father of Manitoba

The 1869 Métis uprising in Red River had deeply divided Canadians along religious and linguistic lines. Five years later, the election of Louis Riel as a member of Parliament (MP) prompted a debate about whether the House of Commons should allow Riel to take up his seat there. Wilfrid Laurier — by this time a federal MP in the new Liberal government of Alexander Mackenzie — stood firmly on Riel’s side. Laurier had little personal sympathy for Riel. Politically, however, he used Riel and the Métis cause as a way of staking out the moderation and pragmatism that would become a hallmark his career. On 15 April 1874, he issued this stirring defence of Riel in the House of Commons.

I would like to share the work of three artists who have each developed different techniques for printing with rust. Rust is symbolic in various ways for each of these artists and the concept and process of rusting informs their work.

Louis David Riel (22 October 1844 – 16 November 1885) was a Canadian politician, a founder of the province of Manitoba, and a political leader of the Métis people of the Canadian prairies. He led two resistance movements against the Canadian government and its first post-Confederation prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. Riel sought to preserve Métis rights and culture as their homelands in the Northwest came progressively under the Canadian sphere of influence. Over the decades, he has been made a folk hero by the Francophones, the Catholic nationalists, the native rights movement, and the New Left student movement. Riel has received more scholarly attention than practically any other figure in Canadian history.His first resistanc... -- Choose from our vast selection of stickers to match with your favorite design to make the perfect customized sticker/decal.
