According to Moll's 2013 thesis (pp. 62-63, fig. 1) : "In the hierarchy of space, the Dominion had to be recognized as the singular sovereign body in the commonwealth of Canada. For that reason, it was impossible for the government to legitimize publicly the Métis’ sovereign act of a state execution. Instead, Scott’s execution was represented as murder as depicted in the image that appeared in the Canadian Illustrated News cover on April 20, 1870, The Tragedy at Fort Garry.” The figure in the illustration looks remarkably like Riel and rather than represent the event as a public state execution, it is illustrated to represent a homicide (Figure 1)."--Cblambert (talk) 04:21, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
