Louis Riel the Hero
Louis Riel is a historical figure and is considered a hero among others and is often
described as the person who sided with the Aboriginals to help establish a social standing. He
has done many things for the Aboriginals including voicing opinions for them as an EnglishFrench speaking lawyer. Many other sources state that Riel is a coward and isn’t worthy to be
named a hero, stating that he fled to the United States after losing the war and accomplishing
nothing. Louis Riel was arrogant and does not deserve to be called a hero.
