Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, Original Correspondence (CO 217) : C-9121 
Seems we always here that the Metis in Nova Scotia were never a separate people that they were always assimiliated into either the Mi'kmaw community or the "Sang Pur" Acadian communities. The people who insist on this scenario obviously have not dug too deep into the records on
such matters. / Transcripts of Colonial Office Records - Nova Scotia -- what better way of seeing things than straight from the horse's mouth per se.
Endorsed Nova Scotia - Opinions of the Principal Officers of the Garrisons at Annapolis Royal upon the State of Affairs in Nova Scotia.
We the officers of the Garrison of Annapolis Royal, being called together by the governor to take into consideration the military State of this Province, and to consult what methods are most proper and effectual to establish the Kings Authority within the same, and facilitate the
Settlement thereof having duly weighed every circumstance to humbly represent as follows -- That the French Inhabitants (Acadians) unanimously refuse to swear allegiance to the crown of Great Briton. They are not thought to entertain much thought of quitting their
habitations of which we have reason to believe proceed from a contempt of this Garrison and Confidence in their own Numbers, together with the assistance of the Indians, with whom they are linked by Commerce, Long Acquaintance , Consanguinity ("blood relation") and Religion
Wicken Report - these cases illustrate being metis was more than just a question of self-identity or of material and social conditions. People were "metis" because that is how they were perceived by both English and French society. Sounds to me, that they were starting to be
distinctive by at least 1720, by this one piece of correspondence. Doesn't seem to be a recent "Pop Up" phenomenon at all .. 🥰 .. What does seem to be a recent "Pop Up" phenomenon is us being labelled by a self identified "White Male Academic" as being #raceshifters
to build a career for himself on the back of a disadvantaged minority people. We have lived through horrible histories and he will be remembered as nothing but a distant "bad taste" in years as they go by. We, the Sang-Mele Acadian Metis people, well still be here & documenting
the efforts made to whitewash, diminish and humiliate our people.

I think by all the articles I have posted, using historical articles, Jarvis has chosen to be insulted and not taken them in the context they were presented. But he is not insulted by these comments from Darryl and Associates. @JarvisGoogoo When the Union of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq
used to be the Union of Nova Scotia Indians./ Yes that would be because the Metis and NonStatus Indians split from UNSI in 1975 and received their own core funding. Is Darryl saying that no NonStatus women had metis children? Or that only the nonStatus were qualified for
the funding they received ? // The gov has divided the Indian Nation into 3 classes - Metis - Offspring of NonStatus parents - MicmacNews-1977-12- From the Native Women's Association of Canada.

Darryl the Academic 🤑🤥🤨, showing his maturity level and respect for the Sang-Mele Acadian people.
