institutions onto the Prairies./ Manitoba History_ The French Presence in the West, 1734-1874.- it was the francophone majority at Red River who protested most effectively. Manitoba entered Confederation in 1870 as a bilingual and bicultural province.

West./ 1988 The_Forks_of_the_Red_and_Assiniboine_Thematic_History_1734-1850_Report.- it was hoped these posts would effectively extend French commercial hegemony throughout the western half of the continent.
white settler revisionism and making metis everywhere - adam gaudry and darryl leroux - use of long ago racial mixing to reimagine a Metis identity that prioritizes mixed race ancestry and disregards
French Colonization of the America's - Cardinal Richelieu issues an act declaring that Indians converted to Catholicism were considered as -natural Frenchmen- by the Ordonnance of 1627, made them into natural French Citizens.

@thewalrus Jean Teillets liberal cabinet ministers family identify as French Canadians, many Metis identified as French Canadians , when is the expose gonna be run on her ?
Funny how I can't even see my own replies, guess they are not relevant eh @X
@X As I was saying about Randy Ranville and how many western Metis did not grow up in the culture, why MMF has to tell all these lies which are easily proven, I do not know. !!
While I agree with a lot of this article. It is writing from a point that they are listenjng to lies and historical revision. I don't know the author so im not sure if its goal is to try and further erase the Eastern Metis or not.
Truth, Metis were in the Union of Nova Scotia Indians bylaws in the 70s. Which is close to the time frame that Western Metis were rediscovering and connecting to their own roots.
@TimHoustonNS can you tell me how someone finds out what funding a company gets? Apple Valley Foods Inc, has made their employees take a week unpaid vacation in March, and they have just been told they need to do the same in August. WTH? This is a large company they are being
punished for being too productive? They have too many pies made and no buyers? But the contract workers from Mexico and the Philippines get to continue working and being paid. How is that legal when they are aren't even supposed to have those workers unless they can't find a
local person to do that job? But they can make the local people take weeks off whenever they feel like it because they are being too productive!! Jeff Sarsfield, why the hell are you punishing your employees for being productive? They now do not get to choose their own
Do you think that whoever made the lying judgement about me being 14 generations had any merit in the decisions of this case?
I really would love to know how I can find out how this Red River Metis judge appointed by the Liberals came to that conclusion? No mention that my Great Grandmother Evangeline Mius was 4 generations from 2 Peace and Friendship Treaty Signatories.
Ahh @CBCNews is at it again, all Indigenous organizations are self identified and you know that very well, including your beloved @MBMetis_MMF
Also, NunatuKavut, previously known as the Labrador Metis Nation, has been recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada. So not sure how you now call it an unrecognized Indigenous Organization.
