    Emergence and Evolution of the Métis Nation Métis National Council September 2019 People of mixed ancestry appeared in eastern Canada soon after initial contact between Indians and Europeans. With large-scale European immigration and agricultural settlement in eastern Canada, these people of mixedBy ancestry President were generally Clément absorbed into Chartier, the settler or QCIndian populations. It was on the isolated Métisplains of westernNational North AmericaCouncil during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that people of mixed ancestry emerged as a new and distinct people and nation. TheINVESTING fur trade companies operating IN ABORIGINAL in this territory - the Hudson’s CANADA Bay Company 2014 and! the North West Company - had a common interest in blocking agricultural settlement and large-scale immigration onto the westernOttawa,ON plains from! the British colonies to the east. December 9, 2014! Hence, the mixed offspring of French fur traders from the North West Company or Scottish fur traders from the Hudson’s Bay Company1 and their Cree, Ojibwe, or Dene wives formed an ever- increasing proportion of the fur trade population. As the numbers of the mixed offspring grew and married among themselves, they developed a new culture, neither European nor Indian, but a fusion of the two. Thus, the Métis people emerged. 4 Emergence and Evolution of the Métis Nation Their Michif language mixed the French, Cree, and Ojibwe languages. Their dance form combined the reels of Scotland with the intricate steps of Plains Indians. Their dress, as can be seen in this photo, was semi-European, semi- Indian in style but of European cut and was often decorated with glass beads and quills.

    August 2012 Newsletter ------------------------------------ Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------------------------------------------------ Postage Australia post is essentially the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different. ----------------------------------------------- For those long term customers and anyone receiving these newsletters for the first time we have several walk in sales per year, with the next being Saturday August 25th.

Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi). 295. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/aprci/295 Canada and the Legacy of the Indian Residential Schools: transitional justice for indigenous people in a non-transitional society Courtney Jung 1 March 18, 2009 The framework of transitional justice, originally devised to facilitate reconciliation in countries undergoing transitions from authoritarianism to democracy, is used with increasing frequency to respond to certain types of human rights violations against indigenous peoples. 2 In some cases, transitional justice measures are employed in societies not undergoing regime transition. Transitional justice measures offer opportunities for re-inscribing the responsibility of states toward their indigenous populations, empowering indigenous communities, responding to indigenous demands to be heard, and rewriting history. Nevertheless, treating indigenous demands for justice as a matter of “human rights” is an ethically loaded project that may reinforce liberal (and neo-liberal) paradigms that indigenous peoples often reject. Whether transitional justice measures will serve primarily to legitimate the status quo between post- colonial states, settler societies, and Aboriginal peoples, or whether they will have transformational capacity, will depend in part on the political context in which they take place.
