Elzéar Goulet

Elzéar Goulet (November 18, 1836 – September 13, 1870) was a Métis leader in the Red River Colony, which later became the province of Manitoba, Canada. He was a supporter of Louis Riel's provisional government and was murdered by Canadian troops under the command of Col. Garnet Wolseley, after the suppression of the Red River Resistance.

Goulet was a member of the Goulet family who have been well documented in their fur trade. Two of Goulet's brothers were also involved in Manitoba's early political history: Maxime Goulet was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1878 to 1886 and Roger Goulet held posts in the government. Elzear's other brother, Leonide Goulet, was a member of the 49th Rangers, "the armed Metis scouts who accompanied the British-American Boundary Commission" (18731874).
