That is not what Louis Riel said in that context .. he is quite the liar.
Reconstituted debates of the convention of Forty-LaGrande Convention 1870-Louis Riel, we must look at all coming in from abroad as strangers...
Reconstituted debates of the convention of Forty-La Grande Convention 1870-Louis Riel, we must look at all coming in from abroad as strangers. / "That every man of this country, except Indians, who has attained the age of twenty-one years, and every British subject, a stranger to
this Territory, after three years of residence in the Territory, shall have the right to vote and every foreigner, not a British subject, shall have the right to vote after residing the same length of time in the Territory, on the condition he take an oath of allegiance."
(Me.. *very similar to the Metis Settlements, where after 5 years residence in Alberta, can apply to Metis Settlements if Aboriginal and consider oneself to be Metis according to culture)

That is actually incorrect information still, MNC is a self-identified, self proclaimed nation ..
There are 2 national organizations in Canada that represent Metis peoples, both have an accord with the Canadian Government, both have 2 very separate definitions, CAP definition runs along with the NCC definition, NCC is who had Metis repatriated into the constitution.
YC28-0-411-12-eng.pdf - the people who own themselves - David Chartrand - president of the MMF also noted the issue of the Indian status in many of these historic Metis communities.
The People Who Own Themselves - Recognition of Metis Identity in Canada - Senate - YC28-0-411-12 - David Chartrand - families will eventually reclaim their Metis identity , as generations lose their status under the Indian Act over time.
obviously Weinstein is full of it too, as he will knows as he was a researcher for the NCC who had a totally different definition of who a Metis citizen was. Obviously his is a bought and paid for decision ..
Behind the Scene of the Send First Ministers Conference on Aboriginal Constitutional Affairs-05190.vol15-3 Mar 1984 New Breed- MNC trying to convince NCC on Metis Definition.
"Mr. John Weinstein (Chief of Staff, Métis National Council) at the International Trade Committee openparliament.ca": openparliament.ca/committees/int… -Gee this was the same researcher for the NCC. No wonder they can re-write all history to suit themselves, they have top inside help
BG8AboriginalSelf-DeterminationoffaLandBase
BG8AboriginalSelf-DeterminationoffaLandBase. - John Weinstein - then concentrating exclusively on the institutional jurisdictional and fiscal arrangements for the Aboriginal self-government on a land base. ( Gee does that sound familiar !! )
A History of the Legislative Assembly of Assiniboia - Norma Hall PHD, Clifford P Hall and Erin Verrier.- census conducted in 1870 at Red River - individuals who were descended HOWEVER REMOTELY either by mother or father, by ANY indigenous tribe of Indians, or a white ancestor, no
matter how remote, as long as they had Indigenous heritage as well .. I want to see the historical revision being written here, in some historical article, you can't find it , because it is being re-written as MNC history now. The contemporary MNC use a 2002 definition, tell me,

Can't even ... smh .. 🤣 apparently unless you are from New France? Oh wait Acadia was part of New France, as well as the Red and Assinboine River ... oh the lies and shit we will try and distort. MNC can go through ethnogenesis in 100 yrs but an older colony can't? Bullshit !!
