A man for two peoples-Pierre-Amand Landry-by Stanley, Della Margaret Maude- 1988 French Canadian Interests- Riel - Landry introduced a motion censuring the Macdonald gov for allowing the death sentence on Riel to be carried out. He deplored the racial tensions which had arisen

The one-and-a-half men- the story of Jim Brady and Malcolm Norris, Metis patriots of the twentieth century-Dobbin, Murray-1981- Brady knew that a reinterpretation of Canadian and Metis history would not suffice to commissioners that "relief" was an inadequate solution to the

problem. In order to promote self-determination Brady would have to "draw" the historical argument further and illustrate that there was a continuity between the glorious tradition of the Metis in fighting for the democratic opening of the west and the present Metis population.

Brady would argue that the Metis population consisted of two classes, the Nomadic and the Progressive, 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗘 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹-𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲
