Trial of Louis Riel

June 27th, 2010

Hosted by the Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre the "Trial of Louis Riel" play is coming to Duck Lake as the final event to our 125th Commemoration of the 1885 Uprising and the Battle of Duck Lake.  June 27th for a 2pm performance.

"The Trial of Louis Riel", as put forward by John Coulter is based on the actual court transcripts of the trial.  Today, the re-enactment performed by RielCo Productions Inc. has been a mainstay in the city of Regina and the province of Saskatchewan for 42 years and has been viewed by more that 50,000 visitors.  For the production not to continue would be yet another great tragedy in the history of this province.  This re-creation has served as a constant reminder of the grave injustice that was inflicted not only on Riel and his family, but also to the entire Metis Nation, past and present.  Equally important to consider is that RielCo's production of "The Trial of Louis Riel" has been paramount in preserving the memory of Louis Riel.
