Louis David Riel (English /ˈluːiː riːˈɛl/, French pronunciation: [lwi ʁjɛl]; 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 resistance was the Red River Rebellion of 1869–1870. The provisional government established by Riel ultimately negotiated the terms under which the modern province of Manitoba entered the Canadian Confederation. Riel ordered the execution of a Protestant who annoyed him, Thomas Scott, and fled to the United States to escape prosecution. Despite this, he is frequently referred to as the "Father of Manitoba". While a fugitive, he was elected three times to the Canadian House of Commons, although he never assumed his seat. During these years, he was frustrated by having to remain in exile despite his growing belief that he was a divinely chosen leader and prophet, a belief which would later resurface and influence his actions. Because of this new religious conviction, Catholic leaders who had supported him before increasingly repudiated him. He married in 1881 while in exile in Montana in the United States; he fathered three children.

Genres: Drama, Short,Il a dans le sang
Une partie d'occident
Il a dans les yeux
De l'extrême orient
Son pays est la France
Sa peau le Viêt-nam
Il parle les langues
De sa double âme
Rejeté par les uns
Dénigré par les autres
Une histoire sans fin
Ce n'est pas sa faute
C'est le fils indigne
D'une guerre cruelle
C'est le fruit d'un crime
D'une mère trop belle
Métis est son nom
Métis est sa race
Partout où ils vont
Il n'y a pas de place
Métis est ton nom
Métis est ta race
Partout où ils vont
Il n'y a pas de place!
Elle a la peau dorée
Des filles d'Alger
Elle a le franc-parler
Des filles des cités
Elle parle l'arabe
Dans sa famille
Une rose des sables
En elle brille
Rejetée par les uns
Dénigrée par les autres
Une histoire sans fin
Ce n'est pas sa faute
C'est la fille-cible
D'une guerre cruelle
C'est l'enfant terrible
Des cités poubelles
Ils ont dans le sang
Quelque chose d'étrange
Ils ont dans les yeux
Quelque chose de mieux
Ils sont nés en France
Leur peau n'est pas blanche
Ils parlent deux langues
Ça leur donne une chance
Rejetés par les uns
Denigrés par les autres
Une histoire sans fin
Ce n'est pas de leur faute
C'sont les gosses indignes
De guerres cruelles
Et le fruit d'un crime
