Our family originated in sharbourgh, Quebec and we have known all our lives that we were metis.My mother and Father would not speak about it and raised us as white.Now that my mother has passed my brothers and sisters and I(all 10) have done some research and we have finally traced our ancestors back to the Charlands out of Quebec and further back to that of Louis Riel.We have applied for and just received Métis Status. This is an incredible honour and with the help of your great site,I will begin to teach my children the ways of our people and teach them to be proud of their history.Métis are not First Nations nor are we French. We are a unique people and I am proud to count myself amongst them.

Like most people with suspected Métis background in a French family, no one would ever admit that there was Native in our lineage. After five years of intense searching, I still can't find the Métis/Native connection to my Boucher line, though I know it exists. Still trying, and will keep trying. This website has provided me with valuable information and is one I return to on a regular basis.

I'm happy to see the communication taking place within the Métis community as a whole. We are only strong if we stand together - one reed by itself can be easily broken, many reeds bound together by a common thread with stay strong for many thousands of years. It feels very good.

I was aware of the Métis Nation, from doing genealogy, then I found a series of novels by Peter Bowen,that deals with the Métis people. The hero of the the books is Gabriel Du Pre, supposedly a descendant of a man who worked with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I really liked the people in the books and wanted to find out more information about the Métis Nation.

My mother: Alice Aubertin (Pilotte)
Her mother: Sara Louise Gladu (Aubertin)
Her mother's mother:

I am planning on moving to Ontario at the end of June 2003 and would like to find out all I can about the Métis Community, My family comes from Turtle Mountain Montana, My Great Great Uncle was along side Louis Riel during the Rebellion. The more I learn about my culture the more interested I become.

Before michif we had a language called chiac(mi'kmaq,maliseet,french mix) 2. two metis men from NB - Joseph Brossard and Joe LeBeauf were arrested for treason 100 years before Louis Riel suffered the same fate. 3. In 1780 we had to decide to give up identity or suffer more persicution from then government and church. 4. The first people to be sold into slavery were eastern metis in north america long before africans. 5. The first time the metis word was ever used and recoded was in NB. Are we not metis too? Do we not qualify as a culture?

Hello fellow Métis!
I am finding it very difficult to talk to other Métis. I am one of two children, to a single parent, of the only Métis family in my area. I am discovering a challenge in front of me when trying to be involved in the Métis Community... as, there isn't one near me.
I have no one to turn to to learn from, to ask questions, no one to give me an opportunity to share my patriotism and sense of pride for my heritage.
I was wondering if you could help me. If you knew someone I could contact with questions, or someone you knew that I could meet... I am a Métis, and proud of it. I just no one to share that pride with.

First of all, I would like to compliment you on a wonderful website. I have always been interested in Louis Riel as I grew up not far from where he was born and raised in St. Boniface, Manitoba, although I now reside in Toronto. We took a little about him in history class at school but not to any great extent. And what I remember of the material was very biased (not in Riel's favour). I felt the issue of his so-called insanity was emphasized too much.
Eight years ago, I read a book by Regina author, Maggie Siggins, "Riel, A Life of Revolution". I learned a great deal more about this gifted man in her sympathetic portrayal of him. I also watched the re-trial of Riel and his Life and Times on CBC NewsWorld last October. They asked people as they left the trial if Riel would be exonerated in light of the values of today's society and most of them replied yes. I wholeheartedly agree. I feel his trial and execution were a travesty of justice.
Ironically, my background is English Protestant, so I am a member of the same race that was Riel's enemy - they just did not understand him - how could they? I feel Riel was well ahead of his time. Blending his finely tuned sense of justice with passion and intensity influenced by a devout Roman Catholic background and one-eighth Indian heritage combined to make a very impressive persona. Add to that mix his excellent education, intelligence, and complex personality - the Métis couldn't have had a more accomplished leader.
I personally believe that we are all equal in the eyes of God and I feel that the aboriginal and Métis people possess a very unique culture and played and still play to this day a very important role in contributing to the mosaic that is our great country. After all, the aboriginals and Métis were here first and they can certainly teach other races much about cherishing nature which of course, is a very major part of aboriginal and Métis spirituality. The white race still has a lot to learn and what it has done to the aboriginals and Métis (both in Riel's day and to some extent even today) leaves a great deal to be desired.
Again, an excellent website. I am very fascinated by the life of Louis Riel and I intend on visiting his grave and family home in St. Vital when my husband and I go to Winnipeg next summer.

I am trying to find any information on my roots. I am listed on the sences as Métis but have on official standing. My father was born in Heileighbury, ON and when his father moved them to Peterborough, ON he changed the name from Amiot to Amyotte. My Grandfather's mother was Elizabeth Hudson. My Grandfather's given name was Jean Batiste, I hope I have the spelling wright. My father didn't know of the name change till he was ready to retire and needed to get his birth certificate, he was in the Air force in WW2 but he was allowed church records to verify his age then. I am told that we are related to Henry Hudson but it seems nobody can show records to prove this or that we are actually Métis. Hopefuly you have some idea where I can go from here. Thank you.
