I have a 7 year old just turned 7 in Oct 24

Very interesting session

I so appreciate hearing the stories.

Why were we not taught this in school. I graduated in 1989. School was such a joke. I admit i hated school. Its because of my mom that i survived school

We should never forget

It is disgusting what happened. God please help survivers heal.

That would be cool to learn how to do that, the angle of the camera does not do it justice to show exactly how to do the weaving, unfortunately.

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.

I mean these look like white people and light skinned Mexicans. But if it’s how you feel inside, guess that all that matters

This has been an excellent podcast / video for us Metis. Thank you. I found this very informative.

As an investigative historian I have always wanted to research these teachers, priests, and nuns but I need names. I pay attention to these residential school stories but I never hear names of the people who strapped and beat these kids, who fed them unfit food, and abused them in general. I need some names.

I would like to know if any parents were actually put in jail?

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

What percentage of the European actually have real ancestry anymore?

She seemed very worked up, rattled and nervous.

🙏The rain & busts of cold air from Canada stops rhe fires right now!! Amen

Where can we find representatives Contacts they have no contact in our communities

white woman isnt metis

I hate when people say “You don’t look Métis” like not everyone who is Métis looks the same

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.

Thx for the video!

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.

An old sage once told me about a wierd story thati didnt understand,yet,do you guys heard about John traverse the rivers?

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.

All the best for Alberta Metis Fest 👍

Great Read!!

Why was it allowed to happen to Children ?

as an metis man this makes me cry for my indigenous bothers and sisters, la pae miina lamoor. 😪

That's rich because you don't even recognize your own people in the MNA. I have never qualified for any programs nor was I granted harvester rights. Might want to clean up your own backyard first before throwing stones.

Andrea Thank you

Their own Bible condems them. The devil comes not but for to kill, steal and destroy.

I’m so excited! I got a kit!

Looks ok to me! Great info

The video is very blurry hard to see thank you

I’m crying. I feel so seen, all Métis people need this beautiful reminder

To bad you don’t recognize any other Metis in Canada. I am Metis and hold alberta Metis status. But As retired military veteran who decided to retire in Alberta, I lose all my Metis rights and I am not recognized as Metis with rights , by the Alberta Metis council .

Keanu will greet you!

Was very educational. Did not know there was so many varieties of Bees. The one question about the picture of a fly that looked like a bee really caught me. It really looked like a Bee.

Chickasaw in Oklahoma. Thank you for sharing. All our stories need to be heard for healing.
