Riel House is a National Historic Site commemorating the life of the Métis politician and activist Louis Riel, and also the daily life of Métis families in the Red River Settlement.

The house is situated in the historic St. Vital parish of Winnipeg, in Manitoba, Canada.

It is also where his body lay in state for two days in December 1885, after his sentencing and execution for murder and treason, before being buried in St.

[2] The house remained within the possession of Riel descendants until 1968, when it was acquired by the Winnipeg Historical Society.

It is owned and administered by Parks Canada, but since 2013, the Louis Riel Institute[4] (an associate of the Manitoba Métis Federation) has provided interpretation and programming.
