Abstract
The recent announcement of the discovery of a United States naturalization certificate for Louis Riel in the Manitoba Archives was the occasion for a certain amount of comment in the Canadian press. It was stated that there had been no previous evidence to show that Riel had become an American citizen during the period of his residence in Montana. Several newspapers commented editorially upon the discovery. Although the fact that Riel was an American citizen when he was convicted of treason in 1885 was not unknown to students of Western Canadian history, it did come, apparently, as a surprise to many. The details with respect to Louis Riel may, therefore, not be without interest to the readers of the Canadian Historical Review.
