Darryl saying French Descent equals white - white doesn't equal Indigenous. @DarrylLeroux -- Does this apply to everyone ?

Louis Riel & the Métis : Riel mini-conference papers - 1983 - Publisher - Winnipeg, Man. : Pemmican Publications - Riel, in comparison was seven- eighths French-Canadian and one-eighth Indian, Is Riel Metis? Inquiring minds would like to know? #Metis

He doesn't sound Metis by Darryl's logic.

Louis Riel & the Métis : Riel mini-conference papers - 1983 - Publisher - Winnipeg, Man. : Pemmican Publications - Riel tells us how in the “three-blooded race”, the good qualities of one race hold in check the bad qualities of another. Then, while stating the essential

character of each, he attempts to determine which of the three, the Français, the Canadien or the Métis, has done the most good. ( Me: "Yea, doesn't sound like French-Canadian plays any part of being Metis to Louis Riel, he is definitely just white." 🙄

The French-speaking Métis provide the theme for several of the poetic crea¬ tions. Riel speaks openly, often candidly, about the new racial group which has been created on Canadian soil, the group of which he is one. In an extract from an ode to the French-Canadian Métis,

composed in August, 1883, the poet talks about the great future in store for his people, that is, if its three com posite elements blend together well.

Hmm If Louis Riel is considered Metis and he is "for all intents and purposes French-Canadian" - published by Pemmican Publishing even, I am not sure of how Darryl thinks at this point, he is determined to make everyone fit his theories. He can not self identify anyone. Is

Riel's French-Canadian culture a Euro-settler culture? 🤔 So confused, how does this work? Everyone Darryl says is fake has to be, and everyone else we just won't apply the same standards to them? That is pretty hypocritical dontcha think !!

Published in 1979 under title: Riel and the Métis - Published Winnipeg, Man. : Pemmican Publications - The French-Canadian nation has received from God the wonderful mission of continuing the great works of France on this side of the ocean...When the French-Canadian nation will

have done its work and will be afflicted with the infirmities of old age, its mission must pass to other hands . . . We are working to make the French-Canadian Métis people sufficiently great to be worthy to receive the heritage of Lower Canada.

Published in 1979 under title: Riel and the Métis - Published Winnipeg, Man. : Pemmican Publications - Riel’s initial impulse was to try to bring more French-Canadians to the West, as indeed he had tried to do in 1874-75;
