Louis Riel Day marks the execution of a great civil rights leader who advocated for the Métis Nation. His trial and execution have garnered much criticism.
A RUSH TO JUDGEMENT by Roger E. Salhany argues that his trial was, in fact, not a fair one: dundurn.com/books_/t22117/a9…
Great resource for writers looking to build toward a published work.
