utm.utoronto.ca/political-scie… -- Is Chance Finegan Indigenous? -- If not, why is he weighing in on Indigenous Identity Politics? Why is his career based on Indigenous issues? Taking a page out of Darryl's book? No pun intended !! 
See, Chance might be wanting to wade in and decide who is Indigenous and who isn't, but I don't think Chance really knows his Aboriginal history lessons. Does Chance know the history of the Native Council of Canada and the Metis National Council? I don't think so, or he wouldn't
proudly waving that MOU with the Mi'kmaw and the MNC around quite so proudly !! Leroux - talking about that MOU and how Metis never existed, but yet, somehow they ended up in the bylaws and constitutions of the Union of Nova Scotia Indians in 1973.
"MicmacNews-1973-03.- Constitution and By-Laws Union of Nova Scotia Indians - sec 3.12 Metis."
No one ever had a Metis identity in Nova Scotia? What a load of BS that is.. Viola Robinson, lead negotiator in the Nova Scotia Mi'kmaw Land Claims, Micmac News June 1979 - NO THREAT TO COUNCIL - President Viola Robinson says 75 percent of its membership is Metis because all
children of a non-status (Enfranchised) Indian woman are classified as Metis./ MicmacNews-1980-02-73-74-75 Native Council review-UNSI-educational future of the NonStatus Indians and their metis children.
Dan Paul acknowledging Metis ( Although, because there are too many of us, lol .. he vehemently denies we exist now.)
CBC - RCAP - Viola Robinson sat on the RCAP commission.
Form NonStatus and Metis Association - all women executive - MicmacNews-1975-03.
Micmac News 1975 - 07 - NonStatus and Metis told that their claims are real.
union UNSI (Union of Nova Scotia Indians) supports Metis and Non Status Land Claims - 1980 07.
Métis Circle Special Consultation- Viola Robinson , asking if the Metis Nation Accord would be a vehicle that the Metis in the East could use.
You starting to get the picture yet Chance? Never had a Metis presence in Nova Scotia .. lol
Acadia- the geography of early Nova Scotia to 1760 - Andrew Hill Clark - 1968 - those who had taken Indian wives were not encouraged to move to Port Royal, La Have became metis settlement.
L'Acadie, des origines a` nos jours - essai de synthe`se historique - by Roy, Michel 1981 - Census of 1686 La Have and Mirligueche - several Indians and metis.
Acadia- the geography of early Nova Scotia to 1760 - Andrew Hill Clark - 1968 - There was a rather conspicuous metis settlment in the La Have-Mirligueche region.
La colonisation de la Nouvelle-France- e´tude sur les origines de la nation canadienne franc¸aise - by Salone, E´mile 1970 - New France History - Metis children are abandoned to the tribe, lost to the colony.
So Chance, I live here, I am Eastern Metis, My family has been here before confederation. I have 4 Peace and Friendship signatories in my family. Who do you think knows more about that MOU? Me, or you? Cause you sure wanted to tell @Puglaas what you knew about that! Let me assure
that book you are mentioning, deserved that award. Those authors stand up to the, I am lost for words here Chance. You have no idea the reticule, bullying, lateral violence those people you do not know, have put up with. I do. Or maybe you do Chance, and just like being in the
circle of bullies. Which is it, I find it rather odd, you would write to @Puglaas, about something you have no real knowledge about, but you won't answer simple me.
Why is someone who doesn't identify as Indigenous, taking up space in Indigenous issues, politics and jobs?
