TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2002 CBC-TV of Canada is broadcasting a series about a Metis man who was hanged for treason after leading a rebellion in 1885. The three-part special features a "mock trial" of Louis Riel. Gerald Morin, president of the Métis National Council, criticized the program and said it should have involved more Metis. He said he filed a formal complaint against the public station. The final two parts will include Metis actors and a discussion with Metis, the CBC reported. Get the Story:
