Charles Nolin


 

Charles Nolin (183728 January 1907) was a Métis farmer and political organiser noted for his role in the North-West Rebellion of 1885. Along with Louis Riel, Nolin initially advocated taking up arms in order to resolve Métis grievances with the Canadian government, but changed his stance following the Riel's estrangement from the Roman Catholic clerics of the Saint-Laurent mission. He was elected as the member for Batoche, Northwest Territories in the 1891 election. He was forced out of office a year later by court order.
