Correspondence between Col. Phillips and the Lord of Trade in Nova Scotia - Sept 26 1720. As governor of Nova Scotia from 1717 to 1749, Phillips made two brief stays in the fledgling colony (1720-22, 1729-31). This correspondence clearly outlines that the British did not
have effective control over the French Inhabitants (Acadians) in 1720. "That by their continuing to plow and till their lands, to build new houses and other improvements, they seem to have no thought of quitting
this Country, which we have reason to believe proceeds from a
contempt of this Garrison and a dependence on their own numbers, with a reliance on the assistance of the Indians who are their firm allies and dependents, by the tyes of long Acquaintance, Consanguinity and Religion.
@thewalrus Jean Teillets liberal cabinet ministers family identify as French Canadians, many Metis identified as French Canadians , when is the expose gonna be run on her ?
Funny how I can't even see my own replies, guess they are not relevant eh @X
@X As I was saying about Randy Ranville and how many western Metis did not grow up in the culture, why MMF has to tell all these lies which are easily proven, I do not know. !!
While I agree with a lot of this article. It is writing from a point that they are listenjng to lies and historical revision. I don't know the author so im not sure if its goal is to try and further erase the Eastern Metis or not.
Truth, Metis were in the Union of Nova Scotia Indians bylaws in the 70s. Which is close to the time frame that Western Metis were rediscovering and connecting to their own roots.
@TimHoustonNS can you tell me how someone finds out what funding a company gets? Apple Valley Foods Inc, has made their employees take a week unpaid vacation in March, and they have just been told they need to do the same in August. WTH? This is a large company they are being
punished for being too productive? They have too many pies made and no buyers? But the contract workers from Mexico and the Philippines get to continue working and being paid. How is that legal when they are aren't even supposed to have those workers unless they can't find a
local person to do that job? But they can make the local people take weeks off whenever they feel like it because they are being too productive!! Jeff Sarsfield, why the hell are you punishing your employees for being productive? They now do not get to choose their own
Do you think that whoever made the lying judgement about me being 14 generations had any merit in the decisions of this case?
I really would love to know how I can find out how this Red River Metis judge appointed by the Liberals came to that conclusion? No mention that my Great Grandmother Evangeline Mius was 4 generations from 2 Peace and Friendship Treaty Signatories.
Ahh @CBCNews is at it again, all Indigenous organizations are self identified and you know that very well, including your beloved @MBMetis_MMF
Also, NunatuKavut, previously known as the Labrador Metis Nation, has been recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada. So not sure how you now call it an unrecognized Indigenous Organization.
