Darryl - saying had to have Metis and nonStatus to receive funding, well Yes Darryl when you have an association that is representing Metis and NonStatus people that makes sense.. Duhhh .. When it says Metis and NonStatus people OF PEI, it sure sounds like a distinct group of 
Metis to me. I think what you mean, is they weren't representing MNC Metis, and then you would be correct. They were representing the Metis people who the Native Council of Canada represented, who had a very different definition of Metis than MNC. Well now they do, then in those
years Darryl, those prairie province made up part of the Native Council of Canada. MNC didn't split off to form their own organization until 1983, incorporated in 1985. Up until that point in time, they had the same Metis definition. The Native Council of Canada one. MNC
Intervenor in Daniels trial-CAP(NCC)-MNC split due to fundamental disagreement about who the Metis are-serious dispute in definition. The Ontario Métis- characteristics and identity-by Evelyn Peters, Mark Rosenberg, & Greg Halseth1991- NCC has rejected MNC's definition of Metis.
Tony Belcourt - Jean Teillet - Powley Vol 1 Doc- no matter if their identification changes over generations or even within a lifetime they are still aboriginal people.

Mal i Mic News January 1975 - PEI Seeks Funds for Separate Assoc.- The NonStatus and Metis people OF PEI were all in favor of having a separate association. (Sounds like a distinct people to me)
Mal i Mic June 1974 - Premier to meet Indians - New Brunswick Association of Metis and NonStatus Indians will meet with Premier Richard Hatfield to discuss new federal approved program to provide housing to native peoples. The association is comprised of native people who have
lost the special status accorded to Indians by the constitution./ Mal i Mic June 1974 - Dear Editor - what is a -Metis- I must confess this has got me guessing. There is bound to be an increasing number of half-breeds not responsible for their status but victims of it.
Volume 17 Issue 3 Summer 1975-New corporate body to study Indian-rights for Indian Women - Indian News - Gloria George - NCC - defined Indian Women to include all women of North American Indian ancestry.
Mal i Mic News NOV 1975 - Gloria George Delivers Speech - NCC is fighting inter-provincially and interdepartmently to include the Metis and NonStatus Indians. So @DarrylLeroux, who are you to say these Indigenous people are not a distinct group of people? Since when do you get to
politically decide a peoples identity? Darryl Leroux saying Eastern Metis are not indigenous.
