Most citizens of Métis Settlements AB (the only Métis w/legislated land base) do not meet MMF definition of Métis. The MS council has just signed an MOU w/MMF. How do you think this will turn out ?

Has the MNC broadened it’s view of who are Métis? This group does not recognize the Red River only theory and do acknowledge the “courier de bois” in the Slave Lake region who intermingled with the Chip. https://t.co/J718QBqb7z

While not a part of the MFC, this brings up important questions about how we best honor and amplify the voices and rights of our First Nations relatives while finding our own place at the table with regard to indigenous rights and spaces.https://t.co/X84b8stuSg

#Métis#indigenous
April 14, the 9th anniversary of the Daniels Decision:
Métis have the right to be consulted by the federal gov't on a collective basis respecting our rights, interests and needs as Indigenous people. The MFC was an intervenor and our founding president Robert Pilon was there.
Just more posturing from both sides?
Both have the right to say who they are in community with. Neither has the right to declare anyone outside their circle is not Métis.https://t.co/bC34hxIG0K
Evidence of the Métis people across North America is not just limited to baptisms and scrip. Métis are mentioned by name in various histories. We've posted excerpts from two on the MFC website here. https://t.co/kv7WDrr74q...
Identity is not a matter of political convenience. Unlike some others, the MFC continues to recognize Métis Coast to Coast.
We will continue to post evidence for our communities and to call out inconsistent messaging from others.
MFC citizens are invited join the discussion!
https://t.co/0wsPnZRRJP Supreme Court's Daniels decision in 2016 ruled that Métis and non-status Indians are "Indians" for the purpose of s91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867. Yet missing from public debate about Métis identity is that Harry Daniels himself.
It is and always should remain the choice of Metis people as to who represents them.
"The MNA has not provided a conclusive answer to the question of who speaks for the non-settlement Métis,”
