How is Louis Riel remembered in Canadian history?

As a villain
As a hero and Father of Manitoba
As a British loyalist
As the first Prime Minister of Canada

The correct answer is: As a hero and Father of Manitoba

Louis Riel is remembered in Canadian history as a hero and Father of Manitoba, as he played a crucial role in the formation of the province. Despite being initially seen as a rebel by the Canadian government, Riel fought for the rights and recognition of the Métis people, who were often marginalized and mistreated. This led to him being viewed as a hero by many, particularly in Manitoba, where he is still widely celebrated. Option A is incorrect because, while some may view Riel as a villain due to his involvement in rebellions, this is not the overall consensus. Option C is also incorrect, as Riel's actions were in opposition to British control. Option D is also incorrect, as Riel was not the first Prime Minister of Canada, but rather a political leader in the Red River Resistance and North-West Rebellion.
