METIS IDENTITY WAS CONFIRMED April 14, 2016 BY THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA!
The Daniel’s supreme court judgment April 14, 2016 made a very important ruling. Something consistantly overlooked by government and proponents of the Powley decision:

“Held: The first declaration should be granted: Métis and non-status Indians are “Indians” under s. 91(24) . The appeal should therefore be allowed in part. The Federal Court of Appeal’s conclusion that the first declaration should exclude non-status Indians or apply only to those Métis who meet the Powley criteria, should be set aside……..”
To make this judgement more clearly stated, in the background summary, of the Daniels decision, section:
"[17] There is no consensus on who is considered Métis or a non-status Indian, nor need there be......'Métis'....can be used as a general term for anyone with mixed European and Aboriginal heritage....."

WHO WE ARE
We are non-status, mixed descendants from many First Nations on Turtle Island. The Ojibwe branded some of our ancestors “Wiisaakode”; a derogatory description that described charred trees after a forest fire. Today our people are marginalized by Canada and simply considered by most First Nations as cousins and not a distinctive Metis people, even though our ancestors lived at large, adjacent to each other, and were recognized by colonial settlers as distinctly different.
Colonial stigmatization and eradication of eastern Metis culture has lasted for 300 years------We demand our inherent right to gather and formalize our past into an independent, modern nation!
WHY BECOME A CITIZEN?
Modern settler society encourages individualism and material accumulation that ultimately discourages public sector social responsibility. Our Indigenous ancestors practiced a simple spiritualism and shared resources for the well being of its whole society. You owe it, as a gift, to your descendants to self identify with our modern nation; to provide them with pride in their origins never to be forgotten again!
