Metis have no treaty rights. Treaty as understood what treaty signified from 1871-1921. To the disadvantage of Indians, they were tricked into releasing lands for 5 dollars per year. I am 83 years old. I got $415.00 to date. And Metis want to be labelled as "Indians"?
I am a Treaty Person from Treaty 10 area. I also grew up near a Metis community. We had many relations with these Metis in Isle a la Crosse in Saskatchewan. The Dene had a Treaty signing ceremony in Isle a la Crosse in 1906. Many Dene of Metis descent preferred Scrip. So, Metis cannot be Treaty as defined by Treaty laws. My father told me one time. The Metis are like the Dene mischievous character, Wal dee lee. Metis can chose either way, whatever is more advantageous to them. Today, it is more difficult to distinguish the Metis from the European race. They look more like 'them' and many will not associate with Indians. I have experienced this personally. Ralph Paul
It is like we don't know about Métis, at all, or mix in the Black too and then see what happens...Black from Africa...and it is not just Metis, ...Acadie, are Metis, but we have been removed from so many countries now....Where do we belong...
Are women that came from Acadie human beings? Are women that come from Acadie with women's rights just the same as First Nations...We are many colours of skin....Why are we not with rights about that? I just wrote Louisette about this very subject. Am I not allowed free speech because I am not the right colour????? How do you get dyed the right colour in this country to be heard?
About those gold pins...that's a pretty damn colonial way of recognizing someones achievements. In reality, the mining of gold contaminates rivers and ground waters with arsenic and mercury. Does the University REALLY want to thank First Nations people with THAT??
I’m Acadian Métis and cant grow a beard 400 years later! through the French at that or clearly I should say, no? But I’m not looking for free stuff I’m looking for security to be here we’re I belong as some of these new comers say go back to Europe and I’m like welllll budddyyyyy... I really wish the Catholic Church didn’t screw up for our tighter Aliegance
Great lecture, learned a lot. As English is not my language, I would appreciate a subtitle function tho...

Many Metis could pass as European the same cannot usually be said for First Nations And Inuits
Right on!
They don't "pass" as Europeans, they are usually greatly of European descent.
Are people who have mixed backgrounds people?
Are women that came from Acadie human beings?

Metis people do not recognize Indian Land rights and have not sold the 1.5 million arces given to the original Metis Families🍁
Thats a lot of land, you have no land. 1.5 million acres, are you crazy. Fight us for it, clowns.
Metis are given some treaty nowadays
I think you need to be more educated bud. MOU's Are not in any way similar to treaties
No we r not

Gold is colonial? Indigenous use of gold, is the reason colonials kept coming.
No they are not

I’d go back to Europe but their too hairy for my taste
And I don’t belong there,I’m Métis
It’s recognition to say, mind where your at when they say go back to europe
If a pure blood wants me gone, fair I guess but these new comers? Getting pissed
No such thing as Acadian metis
This is all politics...nothing but politics....
