"Métis researcher Kelly Saunders is the guest speaker Nov. 14 in Chilliwack – Chilliwack Progress": theprogress.com/news/mtis-rese… -- sooo once again , we have professionals who are not actually Metis trying to shape Metis Nationalism ?
-- Like what is going on here ? @MNC_tweets 
Are there any Metis professionals in these important roles and positions? Or just people who want to control the conversation? Wow, @Carolyn_Bennett @CrownIndigenous could it be any more plain than the nose on your face, what you are trying to do?

Federal corp MNC dissolved in 2015
Federal corp info on MNC and CAP. @CrownIndigenous can you explain to me, how a non profit association, who was first incorporated in 1984, gets to call the shots on who is Metis and who isn't when The Native Council of Canada with HarryDaniels (Now Congress of
Aboriginal People) is who inserted the word Metis into the constitution in 1982? Metis National Council was not even a non profit corporation at that time.
Harry Daniels - Gary Gould - commision hears maritime Indians - MicmacNews-1980-12.
Constitutional Changes - Micmac News 1980 - 06 - In the aims and objectives, the Union shall not only relate to problems of Indians but also Metis. @CrownIndigenous @Carolyn_Bennett I am not sure you are aware of our diverse Metis history in Canada Mrs Bennett. Although only
cheering on people who try to say we do not exist, nor ever did, is quite telling .. 😉 .. I am sure you are aware of PHD William Wicken who has written a report on the Metis in SouthWest Nova Scotia, not once have I heard you acknowledge or cheer him on .. Hmm !

Goss J further said "such an association represents it members, rather than the Metis community as a whole."
