Silly how @mnbc politics are interjected in community governance! Every chartered community should be on notice - that @MNBC is interfering in community governance!
Without invitation or notice - this is a sad devolution of Metis politics…sad and pathetic @mnbc.ca

For those of us in Indian Country, let’s keep this tune alive :-)

This article deserves criticism. Headline states assessment of Metis heritage, yet the article explains that his lawyer is interested in First Nations heritage. This is either horrible ignorance regarding Indigenous identity by the author, or is a salacious anti-Metis article. 🤔

This was essentially a Gatling gun fire against our nation. Like every historical example of external forces volleying again our peoples - they have failed!
The Metis Nation is a strong Nation, with a great memory!

[Brodie Douglas @MetisDouglas]

Having the eyes of the Canadian state on the Metis since 2015 has brought advantages for sure, but we have to recognize the irreparable harm that such focus brought - think funding for mno. Without the context and history, reconciliation is sub-substantive

[Brodie Douglas @MetisDouglas]

It always breaks my heart when Metis identification breaks with history - vive ma Pchi nation Michif!

[Brodie Douglas @MetisDouglas]

@HannahCLeona Irony at its finest ;-)
Happy Christmas regards to you and your fam, from me and my family.

[Brodie Douglas @MetisDouglas]

Great song, wonderful perspective, on a relatable topic.
For example, look at descriptions of our halfbreed communities from an outsiders view, and among a distinct observable is our dogs - their sounds even prior to reaching our communities

Ever more relevant, kinda like a la plus ça change kinda moment. This Metis songster and troubadour deserves far more recognition.

@willgoodon Thank you for this history:-)
it appears to many, that these issues regarding Metis identity are new and are motivated by sentiment and feelings of inclusivity…as you have shown - this is a false narrative; we need to protect and defend our identity and our p’chi nation michif!

“MNC election is put of indefinitely”

Wow! The Métis National Council actually postponed their assembly so Métis Nation of Ontario could find a way to keep control.

I have to say it. I Told You So. https://t.co/PraktXTEQ4

Sad to see such antisemitism on a day trip to Vancouver

[Brodie Douglas @MetisDouglas]

How is that people feel comfortable chanting about intifada and revolution whilst in the same breath talking about “one solution?”
This is absurd that we allow Nazi-esque propaganda to be protected by our legal arms. We may disagree with mid-east policies, but no nazi language!

[Dr Fish Philosopher Todd 🐟 🌱 (an archive) @ZoeSTodd]

So we have an anti-democratic state of things in the Métis National Council so they can keep manufacturing consent for theft of First Nations lands in Ontario. Red River Métis ancestors are rolling in their graves at this opportunism+white possession (Moreton-Robinson 2015).

[Cam Brew @BrewUsCam]

LOL @MNC_tweets The very non-Metis folks who bitterly complained MNC meets were postponed in 2019 due to their lack of cooperation to properly review their membership (MNO); have now postponed the MNC AGM because MNS is going to vote them out of the MNC.🙄

[Cam Brew @BrewUsCam]

Lest we forget - the "MNO" is an organization of white folk who stole FN ancestry & history and Métis culture to create a multi-million $ grift in the name of a handful of legit Métis who live in ON.

INAC know all of this but they appreciate the colonizing help, right @gary_srp?

[Brodie Douglas @MetisDouglas]

I am happy to be running for the position of MNBC president :-)
