a to lead and help the Mtis people once again. Riel did go with Dumont back to Canada, by doing that Riel was risking being captured by the Canadian Government. He had been put into exile and was banned from Canada, so it was illegal for him to return. When he got to Canada he went to Batoche with his Mtis people and his trusty sidekick Gabriel Dumont. Louis Riel led the Mtis people in a fight against Major-General Fredrick Middleton and his army. Sadly the Metis people were defeated and Louis Riel gave himself up to the enemy. Mr. Riel requested to have a court session in the Supreme Court of Canada, but he was denied it and was charged with high treason.

He saved the Metis people and helped them out all the time. T...
