Who’d have thunk it? An Indigenous Identity Fraud Summit opens with everyone accusing each other of being frauds. But that’s inevitable with organizations focused on accidents of birth instead of ideas.
Chartrand and the MMF broke from MNC in 2021 over the 2017 recognition of six new historic Métis communities in Ontario, stretching the Métis homeland all the way to the Quebec border.
One of Louis Riel’s greatest fears, said Chartrand, was that the Métis would be swamped not just by settlers from the east, but from within.
Ontario chiefs also reject the communities and accuse MNO of usurping First Nations’ heritage by co-opting their ancestors as Métis.
They’ve mounted a massive pressure campaign against federal Bill C-53, which would recognize the MNO, Métis Nation-Saskatchewan and Otipemisiwak Métis Government (OMG) — formerly the Métis Nation of Alberta — as Indigenous governments.
how about massive dna profiles.
automating the process and allowing any bonafide expert designated by any participating to evaluate and report on the process.
watch some challenge the most most proven and rigorous means of creating dna based ance’trees’
Impossible when 99.99% of human DNA is identical and your father might have been 1/64th something. Also, DNA is for colonizers.
Google ‘blood quantum’ to see how the Indians do it. Some Nazi level eugenics she-it.
did you mean “Blood Wampum”?
Racists always divide. Indians and Metis are some of the worst. Wait
Speaking of made up, someone claiming to be someone important sat down with the CBC, haters!!

Good god she’s annoying, killed it after 35-45 sec of her blathering about how profound she is.
Profoundly insane you mean?
I tried earlier to say this, but it was deleted…
My French side came here in the 1700s.
My Greek side came here in the early 1900s.
There was likely an Indian in the woodpile along the way.
That is why I identify as a “Freek” with a grievance.
PAY ME!!!
Kidding. I paid my own damn way, but still wonder about the wood pile thing.
In short, I identify as a hoser from north ontario, eh?
At which I tell my little story of the blonde-haired mother of childhood friend of one of our children. This university-educated woman said, with a straight face, that her children were….part Metis. She, too, was part Metis. Yes, her husband was, to our knowledge, Metis.
I am a blue eyed redhead, a descendent of Scottish and Irish forebears,
and I was asked in the Northern Store in the Pas, Manitoba for my Indian card. They give them to everybody.
Eagle feathers, smoke, and beaded moccasins. At heart we are all Buffy Sainte-Maries.
except Buffy was 100% fraud. as Indian as Justin Trudeau is French
Not much difference between white Buffy pretending to be Indian and Indians pretending to be Indians.
Aren’t Metis the offspring of French colonizers and the Native First Immigrants?
That’s a polite way to say half-breed.
Yes, when Colonisers made love, not war. ‘Cept with the Iroquois, but everybody thought they were assholes, you know, the genocide thing.
Actually, the voyagers just passed through. The children they left behind with Indian women were the colonizers.
Again…Monty Python had it 40 years ago:

Cherokee tribe wanted to ditch the 1866 Treaty that recognized their black slaves as Cherokee.

Noble indigenous peoples don’t want to share the sacred casino profits because that goes against their bingo traditions…
And waters down their fat government cheques…
I have noticed that the real Indians (people who have immigrated from India) are “spanking” the native Canadians. Real Indians are taking over the banking business and the pharmacies. I think this is because they have self-respect and respect for education.
You cannot do much if you only have a Grade 8 education.
Who doesn’t want to do the soapstone boogie?.. Why not, it is free money..
I used to like soapstone. But I became jaded.
Who knew that racism is an essential element of personal identity in Canada ?
Pretendians-everywhere, which is why they hate Kennewick man.
Your future is being decided by compromised morons like Eby of British Columbia, see this decision

Four legs good, two legs bad and three legs ….
…goad
Canada, where racism is now our defining value.
I am indigenous, I was born here.
Back in 1870, when the Cree and the Blackfoot had an old-fashioned land dispute, they solved it the old-fashioned way, with a battle. The Battle of the Belly River (on the site of present day Lethbridge) was one of the largest land battles in Recorded history on Canadian territory.
So there is an historical precedent for a solution to their dispute.
I find it remarkable that the feudal Subjects of a King would somehow grant sovereignty not to themselves, but to a group of people who share the lowest IQ ratings on Earth. A people have never accomplished anything meaningful, did not even invent the wheel or a written language until we got there. Canadians are collectively mentally retarded and there is just no fixing that. Canadians deserve everything they get.
“The Battle of Seven Oaks, or the Victory of the Frog Plain (la Victoire de la Grenouillère), took place 19 June 1816. The battle was a culmination of the Pemmican Wars and the escalating fur trade disputes between the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) and the North West Company (NWC). Pemmican was the food supply that the fur traders depended on to carry out operations. On the day of the battle, a party of about 60 Métis and First Nations men, led by Cuthbert Grant, was heading west of the Forks to deliver pemmican to the NWC canoe brigades on Lake Winnipeg. They were confronted at Seven Oaks by HBC Governor Robert Semple and 28 men (mostly HBC officers and employees). The gunfire and hand-to-hand combat that resulted left Semple and 20 of the HBC party dead. On the Métis side, 16-year-old Joseph Letendre died, and Joseph Trottier was wounded.”

Eventually, when Canada is a true multi-cultural society with majority immigrant society, none of this will matter. The immigrants share no past with aboriginals nor would need to respect any historical aspect of aboriginals. If anyone, the native (hand out) population should be the strongest voice against increased immigration from 3rd world countries. Their interests would be hugely affected.
