The Mounties: 150 years of conflict with Indigenous Peoples

Jean Teillet remembers the day she and a couple of friends planned to snag the rope that hanged Louis Riel from its display in Toronto’s fake castle, Casa Loma.

“We were going to liberate the rope that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were parading around that hanged Louis Riel,” says Teillet, a Métis lawyer and the great grand-niece of Riel.

It’s unclear why the rope was at Casa Loma, which is now operated by the City of Toronto.
