I've read extensively about Louis Riel because of my connection to Gabriel Dumont and the Dumont clan and have NEVER heard of him executing anyone but Thomas Scott, following a trial. I find it hard to believe that such a religious man would have done something so vile. I too would be most interested in some data regarding this woman who was executed by Riel.

Or anyone else for that matter. I know that his Court executed a white man.
