Just in case you hear the little m and big M nonsense, it has been injected into the Metis Nationalism conversation by of course, the MNC. Must be nice to be able to have their millions, write their own definition of Metis Nationalism and tell others what their's is as well.. 🤨

Oh wait, that is not quite how history works, usually one collects the historical data out there, doesn't script their own ..

Confederacy of Metis Peoples concept, challenged the attempts of the MNC from establishing restrictive prairie orientated national definition of Metis. The formal development of the Confederacy, began in 1992, with a resolution of the Native Council of Canada general assembly.

The resolution authorized the Confederacy to use NCC facilities to promote the interests of NCC Metis constituents. / Following the Metis Circle, Martin Dunn was contracted by RCAP

CAP has been pretty silent on Metis issues today, not sure what is going on there. 🤔Betting it has something to do with NCNS no longer claiming Metis people, Ironic since they originally started as the Metis and NonStatus Indian Association of Nova Scotia. However, in 2018 they

signed another accord that covered Metis peoples. Canada and CAP 2018 Political Accord. @CongAboPeoples, Native Council of Nova Scotia = Metis and NonStatus Indian Association . Weird and ironic things happening today.

That "MOU" that the Mi'kmaw chiefs wrote with MNC saying there has never been Metis in Nova Scotia. LOL 🤥😊 when all registered societies in Nova Scotia, keep legal copies of minutes, bylaws and constitutions for public record! bylaws Union of Nova Scotia Indians - MicmacNews

as clear as day, the political posturing happening, well you had better get some glasses. 😳

Metis Constitutional Positions - Martin Dunn. - a former researcher for the Native Council of Canada, the Ontario Métis and Non-Status Indian Association. #Metis #EasternMetis - The NCC have insisted on non-derogation clauses in the Metis Nation Accord, which makes it clear that

the definition of Metis in the accord applies only to the signing organizations and that in the accord-- including the definition of Metis, shall not affect Aboriginal and Treaty rights of Metis who are not members of those organizations.
