drive.google.com/open?id=1_poRN… Amazingly this RCAP report 432, which used to be freely available online, doesn't appear to be online anymore. Apparently INAC doesn't want anyone to be able to access it. Luckily I have it saved in several different locations. It would seem that
the more information that becomes available to back up Eastern Metis position, the more information is locked away from the general public. You might want to think deeply about why that is !! 
Let's look at this little section from Clem Chartier for the first example, this was written before the Daniels decision and before we were included into section 91 (24) . We have Pam Palmater, also going around giving talks with Darryl Leroux on the subject of #raceshifting.
What is so ironic about that, and I suppose they don't want generally known is that her father Frank Palmater, identified as a Metis from the Maritimes. That must be make for some awkward commentary, but when you bring it up and ask for explanations, they block you. It is easy
I guess to just block people and say they are, well I guess whatever they want to say , as they block anyone who disagrees with them. As you can see, this used to be available from the archives. If anyone can find it still online, please contact me. Frank identifying as a Metis,
I am of mixed blood. He also says there hasn't been anyone big enough to say he isn't. I wish we still had Frank Palmater to stand up today and speak. There is certainly so many people trying to obfuscate the issues and truth of Metis today. Him, Dwight Dorey, Gary Gould, all of
have spoken in the Canadian Senate, and showed the truth of the matter, and who was considered Metis when the word was inserted into the constitution in 1982.

Then we have Jean Teillet saying hey, no way , we are not a "catch all" garbage can.
Jean is being a hypocrite like so many others when it comes to the Eastern Metis and the Western Metis . Metis election sees 70 candidates - 1993-08-30 - Windspeaker - lost 1000s of members in 1985 when Bill C-31 re-instated many Metis to status of an Indian- Metis in Alberta
There have been many Metis out west who have gone back and forth between taking scrip and taking treaty. Real Indians and others-mixed-blood urban Native peoples and indigenous nationhood- Bonita Lawrence ©2004-Defining Metisness 8-choose treaty, Indian- Choose scrip, Half-Breed
The one-and-a-half men - the story of Jim Brady and Malcolm Norris, Metis patriots of the twentieth century.- Dobbin, Murray - 1981 - Metis Scrip - large number of Ex-treaty Indians.
Metis of the Mackenzie District - by Slobodin, Richard - 1966- Ottawa- Canadian Research Centre for Anthropology, Saint-Paul University- Metis are non-treaty Indians persons of Native ancestry who are not in a legal position of Indians.
The one and a half men-the story of Jim Brady and Malcolm Norris, Metis patriots of the twentieth century-Dobbin, Murray-1981- Ewing commissions working definition of a half-breed. The most destitute of the Metis today are the direct descendants of Indians who left treaty in
favour of scrip. So Jean doesn't seem like she takes much historical fact into her working concepts. 🤥

Darryl saying French descent equals white./Rotten to the core - The Politics of the MMF - Sheila Jones Morrison ©1995 - Michif French was kept alive by in St Boniface by the Metis who identified themselves publicly as French-Canadians.
The Other natives-the les Metis-Publisher-Winnipeg-Manitoba Me´tis Federation Press-1978 #Metis History- Until 1960's most Metis did not identify as Metis when graduating, they identified as French Canadians if they spoke French. (Darryl,Are you calling these Metis white too?)
Or do you just save that for Acadian Metis ? /The Metis in SouthWestern Nova Scotia-William Wicken - Oct 2004./Janet Chute- A Good Day On The Aboiteau 2004- study of the Acadian-metis of Eel Brook and Quinan area. Are you calling these expert court witnesses for Marshall wrong?
Le drame acadien depuis 1604.- by Bernard, Antoine 1936 - Establishment of La Heve - not only a business in the hands of adventurers more of less linked with the Indians, but French families to be nourished by cultivation of the soil.
Section 17 Daniels decision from Supreme Court of Canada - no consensus on who is Metis, and as early as 1650 a distinct Metis community developed in La Heve , Nova Scotia, distinct from Acadian and Mi'kmaq Indians. So not sure what you are basing your opinions on, is that what
you're using as facts now? Ghost Brothers- Adoption of a French Tribe by Bereaved Native America- A Trans-disciplinary Longitudinal Multilevel Integrated Analysis-Rony Blum 2005- Champlain declared that the French and Natives would intermarry and create one people.
Something of a Peasant Paradise- Comparing Rural Societies in Acadie and the Loudunais,1604-1755-Gregory M.W. Kennedy-MQUP, 2014-La Heve - French leaders married aboriginal women-resulting Metis families played an important role.

The People Who Own Themselves - Recognition of Metis Identity in Canada - Senate - YC28-0-411-12 - David Chartrand - families will eventually reclaim their Metis identity , as generations lose their status under the Indian Act over time. So so much hypocrisy.
publications.gc.ca/collections/co… YC28-0-411-12-eng.pdf - the people who own themselves - David Chartrand - president of the MMF also noted the issue of the Indian status in many of these historic Metis communities.
In the 17th century Samuel de Champlain used the term Metis. He actively encouraged the the intermixing of French and Indians and many offspring resulted from those marriages.
