@TorontoStar Ah Mr Sinclair .. @Niigaanwewidam .. How does that work when the nations your family belonged to for generations refuses to claim you back and says you never existed? When you are a descendent of the Peace and Friendship Treaties ? When you can prove your indigenous
Mal i Mic news Oct 1976-What Is a NonStatus Indian- when a Status women married nonIndian-she loses her Indian Status- descendants lose their Status-most of their descendants are known as Metis.
Frank Palmater, dad of Pamela Palmater, weird cause she says Eastern Metis don't exist too, lol .. really strange cause her dad identified numerous times in the RCAP reports as being a Mi'kmaw Metis person. "Windspeaker-8-may-1994 frank palmater.png"
Frank Palmater in the RCAP reports ..
Mal I Mic-Dalhousie News-Local Meeting was held in Dalhousie April 20, 1977-V President- Frank Palmater Sr, Sec treasurer - Frank Palmater Jr. - The objective of the project is to improve housing conditions of Metis and NonStatus Indians. Ya wanna explain that? Or just play
politics with peoples life's.
My family have never been under the Indian Act. They have never seeked approval from the Federal Government as to who they are, they does not negate them as Indigenous people to this country. Francis Mius - 1761 Treaty. My great great grandfather was born before confederation and
before the damn Indian Act, we do not need approval from anyone as to who we are. if we want it, we will go to our own people for it, not nations who lie depending on which way the wind is blowing for them. The same people who say we never existed, had us in their bylaws and
constitution of their organization. MicmacNews-1973-03.- Constitution and By-Laws Union of Nova Scotia Indians, sec 3.10 Indian means, sec 3.12 A Metis, and I can show you further documentation where the 12 chiefs overthrew an elected board and changed the bylaws and removed them
so then they were not considered Indian anymore, is that how it all works ? lol constitutional changes - Micmac News 1980 - 06 - Metis is now not an Indian.
Francis Mius is four generations from my Great great grandfather Tranquil Mius, he is brother to my 7th Great grandfather Joseph Mius and brother to Mathieu Mius, also a treaty signatory for the ratified 1725/26. Ratified Treaty 1726 .
Ask the Mi'kmaw they say I don't exist. Me and my family certainly do..
@Niigaanwewidam Nothing to say ?? Weird, thought you would be all over this, since you decided to crap on #EasternMetis

Colonies-Canada to 1867- pub-Toronto, Ont. McGraw-Hill Ryerson- in some areas such as La Have intermarriage with the Micmac helped to establish families giving the settlements an aura of greater permanency.
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. - 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 !! )
