@steph_pettigrew I identify as EasternMetis , can you tell me exactly how I am hurting Indigenous groups? Oh please, this should be interesting. 
I feel sorry for you that you believe @DarrylLeroux, have you done any independent research into "The Other Metis" at all ? LAC - Metis Circle Special Consultation -- Rock Matte, Claude Aubin, Frank Palmater etc.
Have you read the RCAP reports, specifically RCAP 432 and RCAP 433 ? bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/a…
CBC - RCAP - Viola Robinson sat on the commission. bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/a…
Métis Circle Special Consultation- Viola Robinson , asking if the Metis Nation Accord would be a vehicle that the Metis in the East could use.
@steph_pettigrew @DarrylLeroux his work and his research is paid work to discredit un-recognized and marginalized Aboriginal people and communities to help clear the pathways for others to settle their land claims.
@steph_pettigrew, you do realize you are saying what is wrong with that organization, is the exact same protocol the MNC uses right?
MNC Intervenor in Daniels trial - CAP-MNC split due to fundamental disagreement about who the Metis are - serious dispute in definition. - You are aware that there are 2 national organizations who represent the Metis peoples of Canada , correct? CAP - previously NCC who
repatriated the Metis into the Canadian Constitution in 1982, not the MNC who was not even a thing then. That non-profit organization was not even incorporated until 1984.
MNC non profit organization.
MNC Intervenor in Daniels trial - MNC wants Metis and NonStatus Indians issued separately.
Daniels decision Section 17 - No one exclusive Metis people in Canada. - There is no consensus on who is considered NonStatus or Metis in Canada, nor need there be. Supreme Court of Canada decision in Daniels Case.
So why are you running to a white man, granted in a position of power, but white nonetheless to determine Indigenous Identity Politics?
MMF.MB.CA - Genealogies - is a reclamation of identity which many felt the need to hide over generations. We encourage all of our Metis Citizens to obtain their genealogy- to claim their birthright and confirm their citizenship. @steph_pettigrew are you saying
@MBMetis_MMF is not using a correct procedure to identity their citizens? Senate - 23 issue - Randall Ranville, Genealogist, Metis Cultural and Heritage Resource Centre Inc. - a lot of folks did not know they were Metis, they find out at a funeral or a wedding.
Randy Ranville - 23rd Issue Senate Report - Canada. - All the Metis I identify using genealogy work, they are amazed and come back the library and stay all day researching their stories. Can we say #Hypocrite Steph
By the way, I am still waiting, since you are talking about my people and my community, how I am hurting Indigenous identity. Or are you waiting for Darryl to give you some hints?
