BC Metis Federation's own online show Métis Coffee Talk will air a special feature show this Thursday, November 15, at 7:30 PM. The show will interview special guest and Louis Riel historian Mr. David Doyle who is arguably the most knowledgeable Louis Riel expert in Canada. Mr. Doyle will present about the life and times of Louis Riel from his extensive years of experience researching and fighting for Louis Riel's place as one of the greatest Canadians.

This will be a must see show for all and we encourage anyone to watch to better understand the history of Métis people in Canada. We will be holding a LIVE Louis Riel Day (November 16th) Webcast on Thursday November 15 - 7:30 Pacific Standard Time.

David Doyle will be reviewing Louis Riel in Canadian History, including an overview of the key books published reflecting Louis Riel's place in Canadian history. David will also be showing his video ON THE TRAIL OF LOUIS RIEL, - an homage to Riel, Big Bear, Poundmaker and Gabriel Dumont and those who fought Canadian colonialism in Saskatchewan 1885.

This evening's presentation is also dedicated to two Saskatchewan patriots who passed-on in this last month. Brian Rands was a working class hero, and an ardent supporter of Louis Riel and the rights of Indigenous Peoples everywhere. Jim Sinclair, the former leader of the Association of Métis and Non-Status Indians of Saskatchewan (AMNSIS), was a leader who stood up and demanded the Métis be recognized as an Aboriginal Nation in the Canadian Constitution of 1982. Both Brian and Jim carried on many struggles in the interests of the People and both men marched to the old North-West Mounted Police barracks in Regina on November 16, 1985 carrying the "lost"; Revolutionary Bill of Rights of the Saskatchewan on the 100th anniversary of the execution of Louis Riel.
