Robert Jago: Criminalizing 'Pretendians' is not the answer; we need to give First Nations control over grants nationalpost.com/opinion/robert…
and which Nation is going to police the Metis who do not fall under MNC ? MNC Intervenor in Daniels trial - CAP-MNC split due to fundamental disagreement about who the Metis are - serious dispute in definition. 
Metis National Council - A brief to the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs - New Breed October 1983- pg 2 - at the same time we have provided for the future admission of other metis into the Metis National Council ..
Aboriginal self-government - legal and constitutional issues 1995 Ottawa, Canada- Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples- pg159.
Constitutional changes - 1980 - 06 - Metis is now not an Indian, nor is an Enfranchised etc .. seems pretty colonial to me, since when do bands choose members based on federal government acceptance? That is not traditional governance.
Behind the Scene of the Send First Ministers Conference on Aboriginal Constitutional Affairs-05190.vol15-3 Mar 1984 NewBreed- MNC trying to convince NCC on Metis Definition, which NCC declined and used their own definition in the constitution.
Daniels decision Section 17 - No one exclusive Metis people in Canada, no consensus on who is NonStatus or who is Metis and nor need there be, because historically they were all treated the same.
MNC Intervenor in Daniels trial - MNC wants Metis and NonStatus Indians issued separately, but the Supreme Court said No.
INAC - CAP and MNC - LAC. - 2 National organizations, with 2 very different definitions, both have a mandate with the government to represent their own Metis constituents.
Constitutional meeting not a complete failure - MNC definition not approved by NCC March 1984 - New Breed.
432 RCAP - Frank Palmater (Pamela Palmater's Father)- aboriginal ancestry = acceptance from whose community - Not in my lifetime, he knew exactly how that would work and so would anyone who is the slightest bit educated in this. This argument only works for those who have no
clue about Indigenous Political Identity issues. So, tell me, whose voice gets to speak for the unaffiliated Metis?
Letter from Harry Daniels - president of the NCC when Metis were repatriated into the constitution, to Kirby Lethbridge - president of the Labrador Metis Nation, explaining his definition of who was considered to be a Metis person.
Karine Martel-Daniels V Canada-𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘀-𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀. Which is what those grants are for, to level and playing field, Yes?
