As Louis Riel Day lands on a Saturday, we ask you to join us in front of the University Centre at 10:00 am the day before for short remarks and the raising of the Métis flag in recognition of Louis Riel Day. Although Louis Riel Day marks the execution of Louis Riel, commemorating one of the great tragedies in Canadian history, it is also a day to celebrate Métis culture, recognize the many contributions of the Métis to Canada, and to highlight the struggles that many Métis continue to face. 

This is an interactive workshop covering HBC & the sale of Rupert's Land, the West entering Canada, the Red River Rebellion, Riel's Exile, the Northwest Rebellion, Riel's Trial & Hanging and why we as Métis still celebrate Riel Day today. Join Métis Knowledge Keeper Alicia Hamilton as she walks you through historical moments within Métis history.
