This could be big, or could be more lip service. We shall see. It doesn't give any #land rights or #harvesting rights, it's more about internal affairs and #governance, so I'm not too hopeful.

#DavidChartrand of the #Manitoba #Métis Federation has been the president for 28 years. He's getting up there in age and considering retirement, yet I can't imagine anybody replacing him. The #MMF wouldn't be where it is today without him.

I highly suggest #bookmarking this incredibly in-depth, amazing #Educational #resource for #IndigenousFoods of #Canada 👇
Important educational project that's still in progress & continually updated!

The #StudentEncyclopedia of Indigenous Foods of Canada is an initiative by agriculture #students at the University of Guelph (Canada) under the supervision of Prof. Manish N. Raizada (Editor) and talented graduate students including from the #FirstNations and #Metis communities. The mission of the Encyclopedia is to share the rich food and agriculture history of the First Nations, Metis and #Inuit peoples of Canada. The #Encyclopedia is written in plain language and targeted at primary and high school students as well as the general public. Editing of the Encyclopedia remains in progress; however, the site has been published to allow early access.

Wow..I didn't expect to find people defending #Columbus here. That actually surprises me, and very little does.

My father was a #settler, my mother a #metis, so I am also very aware that many of my ancestors did atrocious things. I've never denied that. I find it shameful. I try my best to work for change.

I'm #canadian, so we don't hear as much BS about 1492 as you do in the states. But #Colonialism hurt us deeply, my family hid their culture, and it is finally being reclaimed.

Musical Interlude: One of the artists I saw this past weekend at the Old Time Music Festival was Jamie Fox (one x), an Indigenous fiddler from Montana, who taught us all a bit about the Old Time Music tradition in Indigenous communities...I mean, they absorbed a lot from us musically as well. She identifies as Métis, meaning a mixture of European and Indigenous cultures and ancestry, although here in the US she's identified as a certain tribe by the government.

Anyway, here's a nice video where she introduces herself and performs a few pieces. Listen and learn.

"White Buffalo," "Cut Knife Hill," and "Empty Canoe," performed by Jamie Fox.

More witnesses were in front of the Standing Committee on #Indigenous and Northern Affairs to provide statements on Bill C-53, which recognizes the #selfgovernance of certain #Métis groups.

The issue of Métis #identity in #Ontario was again raised and a warning given.

Identity issues have caused “enormous difficulties in other jurisdictions” and when such issues are flagged “we're called to deal with them.”

Legislation to amend #IndianAct continues #discrimination

What we learn from this story:
• Clauses in Bill C-38 will not allow victims of Cda’s #assimilation policies to seek reparations
• “Two-parent rule continues Canada’s program of forced assimilation.” —Lori Idlout, MP
• Cda discrimination “underscores the sense of colonial entitlement.” –Jenny Kwan, MP
• Bill allows individuals, specifically #Métis, to remove names from Indian register and band list.

#indigenous

“(Canada’s) whole approach has been recognize first and verify later.”

#FirstNations leaders told Canadian lawmakers that #Métis #selfgovernment #legislation will cause damage to First Nations' #rights for generations and will damage their relationship with #Canada too.

First Nations say they haven’t been consulted on #BillC53 and, because it impacts their existing rights, it is necessary to #consult before the Bill is passed into #law.

#Indigenous #cdnpoli

Bill C-38 is being debated in the House of Commons. It’s the latest amendment to the Indian Act that attempts to remove discrimination baked into that legislation.

Bill C-38 deals with Indian status; who had it, who lost it, and who gets to have it back, and how that status will be transmitted to descendants.

Some members of Parliament say this new remedy again falls short.

A two-year ground penetrating radar search of a cemetery used by the Beauval Indian residential school in Saskatchewan has revealed anomalies of the potential unmarked graves of 79 children and 14 infants.

It’s expected to impact 16 communities in the northwest, both First Nations and Métis. The announcement of the search findings was made on Aug. 29.
