Métis Scrip
In the late 1800s, the Canadian government imposed the Métis Scrip System-a policy that offered land or cash in exchange for our Aboriginal title. Yet, the reality was anything but fair.
Andrea Sandmaier, President of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, talks about Métis history here in Alberta and the ripple effects of the Scrip System into the present day.

    How about them Metis that took treaty 8, there lands where Oil Sand land. they should go back to the family line not some Metis group as I heard will be done. Some lands are much richer then others and they again should be given to the family line not a collective of people because they are Metis.

      Good question, where will the benefits go? To cover the Métis administrative costs or to benefit Métis people or anybody who has to live with the consequences of resource extraction on their doorstep? I'm Alberta Métis so I care about how this affects me and others, I hope that a reasonable understanding can be reached

    I was denied harvest rights even though I am a Red River Metis. I provided a million documents regarding this and no clear reason was given for the rejection except for a document they produced which was a really bad OCR job on something regarding my great great grandfather. It was insulting to say the least. We are talking about extreme weak rationality to deny my rights even though my family are the Dumont's, McNabb, Vallee and the Sanderson's. I have so many connections to the Metis nation I am related to almost every major family which can be seen through ancestry DNA. The denial was insane to say the least. Craig is also my cousin.

    This president is a fraud, she was friends with the previous president and they rigged the election so the 5 or more people who tried to run in the election could not run due to technicalities, they ran the election with only 2 people,, it was a setup, she must be rejected. Please ignore everything this person does, we don't need this kind of political manipulation in the Metis Nation.

    From the looks of it, it’s a very broad term in Canada. in Mexico it’s 50-50 not 1/16.

    • @gmdruby8220
      @gmdruby8220 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s not really broad, just a widely misunderstood term. The Métis people of Canada do not necessarily derive from simply being of mixed ancestry but rather are mixed descendants of the Red River Métis settlement. To put it simply, not everybody who has mixed ancestry is Métis. With the intermingling of French, Scottish, Scotts Irish, Cree and Anishinaabe people in modern day Manitoba, over time, the mixed descendants of these relationships eventually created a new culture with unique food, music, dancing and language. The Métis were able to unite under one people when the British invaded their territory in the battle of Seven Oaks and lost. This is the first time our flag was ever flown and has been our flag ever since. Hope this helps

    Just in case there is confusion. When she says shed is the length, this is not so. The SHED is the SPACE where she puts the weft threads across the long threads, (long called Warp). Passing the Weft thread to the left through the SHED. This is a lovely instruction for finger weaving which I have never tried as other videos left me confused. I must try this now. Thank you very much.

    Fingerweaving? I've not heard this word before. I get that you're saying there's no loom. I think everyone else would just say "handwoven.". Unless I'm missing something about the technique. Fiver arts techniques are as intricate as they are diverse. I wonder where the cultural use of "fingerweaving" comes from. I am not quite getting the cultural significance of the term. But as you describe it in the video, its the symbolosm of the worn woven textiles that seems most culturally important. I'll watch the process again.

    • @eileenfb1948
      @eileenfb1948 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hand woven cloth is done on a loom which is totally manual, therefore it is called handwoven. This is how all material was made for such a long time. So, as the word already exists for something specific it would be inaccurate to call it hand woven. These looms were often quite large, men could weave a wider piece of fabric as they had a longer reach.

    • @eileenfb1948
      @eileenfb1948 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @RobespierreThePoof For many years all fabric was woven on a wooden loom which was totally manual. The loom was as wide as a person could stretch out their arms to push the shuttle through the shed and back and forth. This was called hand made material. The same name could not be used for this new technique so finger weaving it was.

    In the heart of Alberta, where the prairies wide, The Métis gather, with pride they stride, With the beat of the drum and the fiddle’s song, At Alberta Métis Fest, where we all belong. Alberta Métis Fest, where the spirit flies, With the dance and the song, under open skies, In the warmth of the fire, and the stories told, Alberta Métis Fest, where traditions unfold. With the jig of the dance and the joy in the air, We celebrate the culture, with love and care, From the elders’ wisdom to the children’s cheer, At Alberta Métis Fest, we hold all dear. In the colors of the sashes, and the sounds of the night, We find our connection, in the soft firelight, With each hand we hold, and each laugh we share, The Métis spirit, in the cool evening air. So here’s to the Métis, with their heritage bright, In the unity of the fest, we find our light, With the echo of history, and the promise of tomorrow, At Alberta Métis Fest, we share joy and sorrow.

      To erase the language, beliefs, and culture in general. They rounded the kids and taught them their Christian or Catholic ways so they didn't grow up learning their native languages and beliefs. They did what they could to erase everything about Inuit, Métis, and First Nations culture so they could have Canada for themselves. Same things the Brits tried to do with Ireland and Scotland 100s of years before.
