This is a very good site on Métis's. I am a Métis from the descendant's of the Innuit Nation of Labrador. My great etc. grandfather and Innuit Grandmother started the Métis Culture in Labrador so I come from a very distinct culture of Métis which I'm very proud of. I have my Métis card and am in the process of getting my children and their childres cards. I would really love to help out the Métis but don't know where to go or who to talk to about it. I would also like to get your newsletter sent to me. If you can help me it would be greatly appreciated. My email address is aboriginalmetis@hotmail.com We have traced our family history on Pierre Francois (ditSansregret)Michelin. He came to Trois Rivieres, Quebec in the late 1600's or early 1700's since he married Claire (Filet) about 1731. She came from France also. If anyone has any more info on them please contact me.

Tanishi at tout le monde. Well here in Sudbury we had a wonderful Louis Riel Day. I Hope yours went well wherever you may have had it. Here we had the honour of celebrating it with a celebrity, Mr. Rick Mercer from the 22 minute show. The Mayor of Sudbury also attented very proudly beside a numerous amount of Mitis Citizens . We also intended to launch our own Mitis web site, however, a surprise phone call got me all excited... I had the leave and go to Timmins and visit my newest grand-daughter who came to this world on the 17 of Nov. Congrates to my daughter and her new Baby girl "Dakota".

Thank you,
Mitis Rick

I love coming to this site and getting updated on current affairs. We have come a long way as a Mitis people, and we will continue to push forth with adventures that open up new doors.

I'd like to take this time to say thank you to all the people that work hard for us, ensuring our Tribe (to me we are a tribe) Mitis is not forgotten and deserve to gain what is rightfully ours!

We have a bright future as a people of our own within North America :) I am proud to be a part of it - The Mitis

Well another day that went very well. Special thank you goes out to Senator Mott and her daughter Gail for representing The Métis Nation of Ontario at the Memorial service at the Sudbury Arena. They presented a wreath on behalf of our warriors that we lost through wars and normal life. It was also dedicated to Sudbury;'s own Métis warriors who passed away but never forgotten, Mr. Howard Deschamps and Marcel Boulard.
Again Thank you

I'm trying to make contact with the Micmac Nation to learn more about my heritage. My Great Grandmother's name was Francois (Fannie) Muis. She was born on Surett's Island, NS. She was of Micmac Heritage, she may even have been Métis (is that French and Native Indian?).
I was amazed to discover she died on my birthday in 1929.

Well again we were denied another issue in the Métis Nation, as you recall having a vote for the most popular Canadien in Canada;'s history Louis Riel was on the list. He made it just below the first 10 people ....11th . Just letting you know that for some of the canadiens Don Cherry & Wayne Gretsky were more important, makes you wonder the outcome of certain things especially when those people move out of the country and spend their hard earned money from Canadiens in the States.What did they really do for Canada? That is just me, my opinion but feel free to discuss this between yourselves.

I appreciate printed words discussing What is a metis person? Some people will look at me and say you have some aboriginal in you don't you? I feel like replying which part of me do you think may be aboriginal? My feet, my hands perhaps my eyes. This is a battle of my life. It makes me feel that I must continually be proving who I am. I was adopted as so many others have been . As an aboriginal person I just want this question to be laid at rest. Sincerely Carol Turner Warkentin

A little about myself: I am a programmer/analyst for a small computer software development firm. I've been employed there for 5 years. I have several websites I Created/Managed. You can find most of them by going to www.northbaylife.com. I will be adding a section about my Métis heritage on this site soon.

I found your site very interesting. I read about the "Métis" in a book by Louis L'Amour and looked it up on the web. I tried to carefully read the article "What in the heck is a Métis?" I'm afraid I'm still not as enlightened as I should be. It says "mixed blood." I'm confused about whether they were here all along like our Native Americans, or if they are mixed with all the immigrants that came. I am interested because it sounds as though they had many of their rights taken away from them. Were they all herded somewhere as our (five civilized tribes as they are called) Indians were? For instance, like the Cherokees were sent out on "The Trail of Tears?" Also, one needs to be defining.
I am German, English, Irish, Gypsy, and Cherokee....mostly pretty diluted by now :)
but I call that "mixed blood."
Thanks for an interesting article. JK

Your site is excellent .. except for your "application" area. There is not enough space for my mailing address, and no place for an e-mail address so that forms could be sent as an attachment. I started out many years ago (1995-96)attending some initial meetings in Penetanguishene (Georgian Bay Council)but wound up involved with the Canadian Métis Council. I haven't heard from them in a couple of years so I guess they "took the cash and dashed!!!". I just recently retired so will have time to get active again. Jim (Peneseh)

Hi to everyone. While I'm not Métis, my wife and our 4 children recently got their Métis cards. Thanks to everyone at MNO for your hard work.
I have a suggestion to add to this excellent website. If you read many of the entries in this guestbook, you'll notice that an interactive messageboard or chat area would be a wonderful addition to this site. That way, the questions that are asked here could be answered and added to by anyone who participates. Also, it would be great if entries were dated, too.
Thanks to Carolyn and Ron Tumber for all of their research into Carolyn's (and my wife, Joanne's) family heritage.

Hi Nice,informative site..I will be actively seeking Métis status from today and until I do get some answers and results.
I have not sought any advice as of tonight.
I do know that my great grandmother was I believe from a Cree Reserve in Quebec and my great grandfather could not speak English (FRENCH ONLY)and he was from Quebec.
That of course makes me the 3rd generation of the French Cree mix.
Even when I find out the actual documentation,and I don't qualify for Métis status,I may then know my roots so as to answer or show my little girls their heritage and family roots

I was drawn to your site in my quest to verify my family has Métis heritage. I have a log book that documents our ancestors coming to Canada in the late 1700's. One of the first logs talks about living with the Métis in the Peterborough/Madoc area in Ontario. It would help explain my families natural darker skin colour. If you can direct me on where I could go to further research this, I would be very grateful.

Once again we are seeing the crown put limits on our rights by offering a limited amount of harvesting certificates (1250). This action will cause infighting and can only truely be seen as a means of control by the crown. Section # 35 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives us all the same rights. 1 for all and all for 1 = the same. Not some for me and none for you!

Hello,
my name is Jennifer and this website was given to my mother by a metis woman who thought it may be of help. My mother is trying to find out the backround of my grandmother who was born in Moncton, New brunswick on August 29th, 1938. She was put into foster care as a child so therefore we have no information about her parents. We believe she is part, if not fully or mostly fully aboriginial, however we do not know of which tribe. My grandmother's name was Helen McCann, and I know this was quite some time ago, but if anyone at all has information on how or where I can find any records or anything at all to find out if she was indeed native Indian. I guess we don't have any proof if she was or not but she looked extremely native (dark skin, black hair, native features) and we always believed she was. We just want to verify it for my mothers sake, as she doesn't know much about her backround. I am part Mohawk and metis on my dad's side and we would like to find out my mom's side as well. Thank you to anyone who may be of help. Even just suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you and God bless,
Jennifer.

I was just reading the daily newspaper july 8/04 and in it stated that the metis people will now be able to hunt and fish for food without the threat of being charged or having their equipment seized by provincial offcials. Terms of the agreement is for 2 yrs, but that only 1250 harvesting cards will be issued in ontario. Tony belcourt states on the metis web site that effectively immediately metis people will be able to hunt and fish without of being charged. But why is there an agreement with the MNR to issued only 1250 harvesting cards. we've been fighting for these rights for years and now only 1250 can get the right to hunt and fish, which also states that the harvesting season is from september to december. It sound like to me that the metis nation people only won the right to 1250 harvesting tags, just like when people apply for the moose draw throught the MNR.If all metis in Ontario are equal and we have are own registry to identify someone as metis, than all the registared metis people who are registared with the MNO registry should have the right to hunt and fish, not only 1250 of us. We should be dealing for all of us not for 1250 lucky ones.

Good job on the site, visit my sites!
I was born to an English Mother and a Native Father in Toronto in 1947. I was fostered/adopted by an English-Irish family and raised as one of their own, but I never was, to their children and after their parents passed away in '87 &'93, I was informed that since there was no need to pretend anymore I was not welcome in the family. At age 19 in 1967 I met my natural mother, who told me my natural father was native and gave me some data I have since lost, namely his last name was Hanes born 28 or 29 of November 1928. I tried to find my status at the Canadian Government office on St Clair and Yonge St's in Toronto, as late as the early 90's and got forms to register as the "son of a native father" which was receintly opened to allow status previously denied to persons in my situation. I still have no status or any way to trace my heritage but there is no doubt I am native ethnically, and take after my paternal genetic line. If you have any resources that could help me to trace my roots I would be very thankful.

As a self identifing METIS i am proud of the efforts done on my behalf. As a boy growing up in northern Ontario near the Missisaga Reserve in Blind River i had always wondered who my people were. Until recently i did not know that my ancestry was METIS. My older brothers and sisters knew long before i found out. Since both of my parents passed years ago i had no idea that my aboriginal connection existed. I now realize that all of my growing up years my parents hid their liniage from myself and siblings to protect us from shame and humility of being called "half breeds". I now walk with pride and confidence of who i am. I now know that their is a purpose to all of the stuggles of our people. I will pass to my children and grand children the knowledge of our peoples struggles to be heard. I speak loud and proud to be METIS. Thanks for your site. Ron Piche.

Large sections of people are marginalized as a consequence of Globalisation. In the fight against this inhuman process of marginalisation, Louis Riel's life becomes very inspiring.

I was delighted to at last find your website as I have started to research my own Ojibway (Algonquin) family heritage which came down through my grandfather in Buckingham, Quebec. Can you send me any info. as to how I would go about doing this? I found a 1902 Cdn. Govt census on which my grandfather is listed as "Paul LaForce, Algonquin". Any help you can give me in this regard would be most appreciated. I thank you in advance and look forward to hearing from you anytime at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, texanne613@yahoo.ca

Great web site . I have a poll going on,who could guess the closest to when the metis will have the rights that are in the constitution (sec 35a)
im thinking in the area of 2050 or never.
-Government stalling..?
-leaders on the take..?
We are going to need a major protest block some roads or something so we can be herd.
since the steve powley case ive heard nothing about progress in our rights nothing at all whats up with that.
its all bull shit.
What happened to our constitution?

The Niagara Métis Association (NMA) endorses and advocates for DNA testing to assist in establishing Aboriginal genealogy links. Current DNA testing is based on generally accepted scientific principles, accurate, judicially accepted and relatively inexpensive. Like documentary evidence, a provable DNA connection to the Métis Nation genetic family tree should and likely will be an important adjunct, if not mandatory, future requirement for meeting membership criteria into the great Métis Nation. Métis National heritage is precious and must be protected.

Best regards to all,

The Niagara Métis Association

ps: As always, please remember to love, honor and respect the elders.

I think it takes more than rummaging through some dusty old archive and speculating that one's great great great grandmother could have been an ''indian princess''to qualify one to be regarded a metis. The growing number of white people today claiming some mythical indian ancestor to gain political or economic benefits only serves to dilute aboriginal rights in the future for actual metis who lived and continue to live the culture. If the trend continues to grow then the identity of metis will become a cheap caricature of a people who fought and died out in the cold prairies defending what was their right.
