WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS OF THE MANITOBA METIS FEDERATION (“MMF”) The Manitoba Métis: Canada’s Partner in Confederation 1. The Manitoba Metis Community is a part of a larger Aboriginal people―the Métis Nation―that emerged from the descendants of unions between European traders and explorers and Aboriginal women in what was historically known as the ‘Northwest.’ While not defined with precision, the ‘Northwest’ was described from a geographic perspective centered in Montreal and what was then known as Upper Canada (i.e., the Prairies were ‘north’ and ‘west’ of those central Canada locations). This history was acknowledged by the Supreme Court of Canada in Cunningham v. Alberta, 2011 SCC 37, a copy of which is attached to these submissions at Tab 1: [5] The Métis were originally the descendants of eighteenth-century unions between European men—explorers, fur traders and pioneers—and Indian women, mainly on the Canadian plains, which now form part of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Within a few generations the descendants of these unions developed a culture distinct from their European and Indian forebears. In early times, the Métis were mostly nomadic. Later, they established permanent settlements centered on hunting, trading and agriculture. The descendants of Francophone families developed their own Métis language derived from French. The descendants of Anglophone families spoke English. In modern times the two groups are known collectively as Métis. 2. In Manitoba Metis Federation v. Canada 2013 SCC 14 (the “MMF Case”), a copy of which is attached to these submissions at Tab 2, the Supreme Court of Canada recognized that the Manitoba Métis were one of the “[I]ndigenous peoples” who were 1 living in the “western territories” as the new country of Canada began its westward expansion following Confederation in 1867 (para. 2). 3. Our people emerged with our own nationhood, identity, culture, traditions and language (Michif) in the Northwest in the early 1800s. The story of the Battle of Seven Oaks in 1816 is our origin story and was the first of many self-government and rights assertions by our people in our Homeland, including the Sayer trial, the Battle of Grand Couteau, the Red River Resistance, land related petitions, the Battle of Batoche, among many others. The history of the Métis Nation, and in particular of the Manitoba Metis Community, is set out in greater detail in the report of Dr. Arthur Ray entitled “Métis Economic Communities and Settlements in the 19th Century”, a copy of which is attached to these submissions at Tab 3, and the report of Gwynneth Jones entitled “The Métis of Southern Manitoba in the Nineteenth Century: A Historical Report,” a copy of which is attached to these submissions at Tab 4. Both of these reports were filed as evidence and relied on by the court in R. v. Goodon, 2008 MBPC 59, a copy of which is attached to these submissions at Tab 5. 4. Similar to Indian peoples (i.e., First Nations), our ancestors lived, used and relied on our Homeland and were in possession of their lands. Our people had our own government, laws and traditions that were rooted in our lands and nationhood. This Métis perspective was reflected in Louis Riel’s writings in 1885: When the Government of Canada presented itself at our doors it found us at peace.

The curriculum includes reading selections and learning activities appropriate for the different reading levels of both upper elementary and secondary students. The purpose of the unit is for students to develop skills in brainstorming, biography writing, letter writing, note taking, researching, interviewing, spelling, and vocabulary. Reading selections focus on Elijah Harper, an Ojibway Cree Indian who helped defeat the Meech Lake Accord, an amendment to Canada's Constitution proposed in 1987. The Meech Lake Accord would have transferred power from the federal government to provincial governments and would have failed to take into account the interests of Natives, women, and minorities. The curriculum also includes reading selections on the creation of the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry and on Crazy Horse.

  • CONTEXT DOCUMENT on the FUR TRADE of NORTHEASTERN
    CONTEXT DOCUMENT on the FUR TRADE OF NORTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA (Ecozone #16) 1738-1861 by Lauren W. Ritterbush April 1991 FUR TRADE IN NORTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA {ECOZONE #16). 1738-1861 The fur trade was the commercia1l medium through which the earliest Euroamerican intrusions into North America were made. Tl;ns world wide enterprise led to the first encounters between Euroamericar:is and Native Americans. These contacts led to the opening of l1ndian lands to Euroamericans and associated developments. This is especial,ly true for the h,istory of North Dakota. It was a fur trader, Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, Sieur de la Ve--endrye, and his men that were the first Euroamericans to set foot in 1738 on the lar;ids later designated part of the state of North Dakota. Others followed in the latter part of the ,eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth century. The documents these fur traders left behind are the earliest knowr:i written records pertaining to the region. These ,records tell much about the ear,ly commerce of the region that tied it to world markets, about the indigenous popu,lations living in the area at the time, and the environment of the region before major changes caused by overhunting, agriculture, and urban development were made. Trade along the lower Red River, as well as along, the Misso1.:1ri River, was the first organized E uroamerican commerce within the area that became North Dakota. Fortunately, a fair number of written documents pertainir.1g to the fur trade of northeastern North 0akota have been located and preserved for study.
