These words said by Riel are inscribed on the monument to him,
which stands on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislature:

"Yes, I have done my duty. During my life I have aimed at practical results.
I hope that after my death my spirit will bring practical results. All that I
have done and risked, and to which I have exposed myself, rested certainly on
the conviction that I was called upon to do something for my countryI
know that through the grace of God I am the founder of Manitoba."
