@Carolyn_Bennett You know what I find very strange? You re-tweeting a self identified white professor, who is trying so hard to erase other Indigenous people. The people he has his focus on, the Eastern Metis, their genealogy is being used by Qalipu for Status rights and
benefits, while those of us who connect to the same ancestors are being called Pretendians and Fetis, can you please explain to me, how and why this happened? Nova Scotia, Acadian Metis genealogy is being used for Status in Newfoundland, is not recognized in Nova Scotia,
where it originated. Just so happens I have several root ancestors of this chief as well. Guess where I and my ancestors come from? Hint, it is not Newfoundland. So as you can see, I find it very confusing why you would be re-tweeting @DarrylLeroux, when he has me and my disabled
11 yr old son up on his raceshifting website and has done several other things that go directly against our human rights. For one, how he has my family positioned is not our worldview. I get my identity from my nanny, whose Mom and Dad both go back to several of these root
ancestors, this chief has used to get Mi'kmaq Status through the Qalipu Band, when my family is not recognized at all, Why is that Ms Bennet? 🤑🤑🤑.. My great Nanny Mius' dad was born before the Indian Act, and he was an Acadian Halfbreed Mi'kmaw. He is 4 generations away from
2 Peace and Friendship signatories in our family, of which there are 4 , 2 are by marriage. The 2 who are in our family ancestors, are Mathieu Mius, signed the ratified 1725/26 treaty. Which story do we believe today from the wacky Professor?
Francis Muise LaHeve Treaty - 1761 treaty that the Marshal case is based on, but when it comes to my family, no consideration is allowed at all. Wondering minds, wonder why? #Reconciliation my ass.

@dmw411 -- not so much as one peep back and I am expecting I will get the same from you. No matter, we are finding ourselves and we will be bringing lots more evidence to the tables that INAC and others have colluded on to make sure Eastern Metis people were not recognized.
@MikmakiNews if you ask the tough questions, then you had better get on this .. I am betting you don't.
