Happy Louis Riel Day! In other provinces, the Feb long wknd is called Family Day. When MB chose a name for this holiday, they asked school kids what they thought. Overwhelmingly, it was after Louis Riel. The Red River Métis thank all those who celebrate & honour our past leader. https://t.co/cBeeDRsL2H
