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 country...I know that through the grace of God I am the founder of Manitoba.
