"There is always going to be some hurdles to climb for any researcher who is entering a community for which they are not a member, regardless of what cultural group is discussed." -- so if you are Darryl Leroux you totally bypass that by saying the community is not Indigenous.
Darryl Leroux saying Eastern Metis are not indigenous. ( Even if people who identify as such have 4 Peace and Friendship Treaty signatories in their family)
Mathew Mius-ratified 1725/26 treaty (full uncle, brother to my grandfather Joseph, he is a French Acadian Mi'kmaw half-breed, same as my grandfather who married out of the Tribe and was considered Metis) (Baptiste Thomas, Chief married to my Mius aunt, those cousins are family.)
Copy of the Brevet de Commission of the Indian Chief - Francois Miouce - Mikmak de Mirligueche en l'Acadie. Another of my Mi'kmaw Uncles. He married within the Tribe and was considered Mi'kmaw, he is a French Acadian Mi'kmaw half-breed.

it is very disingenuous to put Metis from the East in the same category of Joseph Boyden who I do believe from what I have read doesn't have an Indigenous family. I have tried to have this discussion with Pam many times, about her own father and well a lot of her family who had a
Metis identity. Frank Palmater in the RCAP reports, 432 Metis Circle Special Consultation, self identifies as a Mi'kmaw Metis from the Maritimes and now she has has regained her status and she is now recognized by her nation, has a community now and a law degree and NOW says
Ah Jarvis saying that Non-Status and Metis are separate, in the Daniels case it specifically says those Metis described in section 117.
sec 117 - Harry Daniels case describing the core group of MNSI as a group of native people who maintained a strong affinity for their Indian Heritage without possessing Indian status sec. ( Core group of Metis and NonStatus Indians ) Not separate and distinct Jarvis !!
he also seems to forget all the Metis/NonStatus who have switched to being Status, notice they don't call those folks Darryl's fabricated word "raceshifting" that is not based on science but his "opinion". Race is a social construct, subject to shift, 🤪 If that is #Highered,

"Yet histories of the grand derangement have
emphasized continuity, persistence, ...." That is who we are as a people.
"Faragher notes that relationships between Acadians and Mi'kmaq were sustained through intermarriage and common religion."

Before we get to disingenuous Ms MONEO, "Nova Scotia had growth that was too good to be true: Thirty years ago, 225 Métis lived in the province, and by 2016, there were more than 23,000." -- First off 30 years ago was 1991, until the 1981 census, the only ethnicity recorded was
historically one sided. Only the applicants paternal ethnicity was to be recorded. Do you think maybe once they changed their recording processes and people could actually identify their Metis roots through their maternal ancestry, that had anything to do with growth change
