cbc.ca/news/canada/br… - Tamara Bell said she wants those who misrepresent their identity to face fines and even prison time. What nation would claim Louis Riel? @CBCIndigenous
" is primarily French Canadian, Irish and Scottish." -- so are most Metis people. There is no blood quantum, per the Powley case in the Supreme Court of Canada. 
Rotten to the core - The Politics of the MMF - Sheila Jones Morrison ©1995 - Michif French was kept alive by in St Boniface by the Methis who identified themselves publicly as French-Canadians. @CBCIndigenous
Rotten To The Core- The MNC said the Metis were impossible to define anyway. We defy definitions of race-Our blood can be many origins. @CBCIndigenous
Supreme Court of Canada - Powley - blood quantum . So @CBCIndigenous may I ask why a Haida is policing the identity of a Metis person? As you well know Metis is a complex issue and there are several definitions of a Metis person, which whether you are a nonStatus person or
identify as a Metis, the Supreme Court of Canada has said in the Daniels decision, no distinctions need to be made. That does not make one less Indigenous !! I see a human rights suit in this identity policing. @CBCIndigenous
Louis Riel, Canadian leader of the Métis in western Canada. ... helping to galvanize French Canadian nationalistic opposition to the federal government.

So why is Ms Tamara Bell, policing identity of Metis politics? Metis are in the constitution and protected as such. They do not need to have a connection to a First Nation band. They need to self identify, have a historical community and be accepted by that community of people.
There is no blood quantum in Metis peoples. Gentilly - a French-Canadian community in the Minnesota Red River Valley - Virgil Benoit- French-Chippewa mixed-blood named Joseph La France. @CBCIndigenous

I must say in a time of Canadian reconciliation, I am puzzled why we are going back to ways to label and ostracize Aboriginal people, versus uplifting, supporting and developing a strategy for those who have lost their identities due to colonialism, enfranchisement, and
assimilation. Is this the reconciliation, those who are not yet recognized by the Federal Government, can expect to receive? @CBCIndigenous
thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/the… - the descendants of unions between men from eastern Métis, French Canadian and Orkney Scots backgrounds and women of the Mohawk, Saulteaux, Plains Cree, Ojibwa and Chippewa peoples played an active role in the fur trade.
