  • Métis Identity in Canada
    Métis Identity in Canada by Peter Larivière A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015, Peter Larivière Abstract The understanding and acknowledgement of Aboriginal rights has grown in importance within Canada as a result of the ever changing legal landscape and as Aboriginal groups more forcefully confront decades of colonial rule to assert their historic rights. While this has predominantly come out of First Nations issues, there has been a gradual increase in the rights cases by Métis communities. Primary among these was the 2003 Supreme Court of Canada Powley decision which introduced how Métis identity and community identification are key in a successful litigation claim by Métis. This research considers questions surrounding the contentious nature of Métis identity including how Métis see themselves and how their understandings are prescribed by others including the state, through tools such as the Census of Canada. ii Acknowledgements There is always a fear in acknowledging the support of individuals who assisted over the years that someone may be missed. So let me thank all those whose paths I have crossed and who in their own way set the stage for my being in this very place at this time. Without you I would not have made it here and I thank you. There are specific people who I do wish to highlight. My mother and father and my sister and her family all played a role not only in my formative years but continue to be part of my every day.

Wayne Rowe, Mayor of Gibsons, BC. 474 S. Fletcher Rd., Gibsons, BC, VON WO Dear Mayor Rowe: Re: Metis Recognition on November 16' "Louis Riel Day" On behalf of the United Canadian Metis Nation (UCMN) [formerly Vancouver Mans Citizens Society] and its many members living on the Sunshine Coast, we wish to request that the Town of Gibsons again recognize the Metis and their contributions to the early development of British Columbia and Canada. The President and several of its directors are residents of the Sunshine Coast. Our purpose is twofold: 1. To again bring to your attention a landmark day in Metis history — November 16th — a commemorative day that is celebrated by Metis people in British Columbia and across Canada. This occasion was formally recognized by Gibsons in 2014, 2015, and 2016 by the issuance of a Metis Cultural Awareness Week Proclamation, and by the flying of the Metis Infinity Flag in 2016. 2. To request that you again this year formally recognize the significance of November 16, 2017 to the Metis of your community by: (a) The issuance of a Proclamation declaring Louis Riel Day or Metis Cultural Awareness Week. The Proclamation would be similar to those issued in the past by Gibsons, the Province of British Columbia and cities such as Victoria, Surrey, Nanaimo, Penticton, and many others. (b) Publicly flying the Metis Infinity Flag as was done in 2015 and 2016 on the grounds of the British Columbia Parliament Buildings.

  • Manitoba Historical Society, Annual Report 2002-2003
    PRESIDENT'S REPORT This past year has indeed been both challenging and exciting for the Society. One year short of reaching the milestone of existing for the past 125 years, the Executive, Council and committees have been eagerly planning and organizing events for members to attend, and I look forward to your participation. We plan to promote our celebration to all Manitobans by working with elected officials as well as the media. I hope all members will assist in making our 125th Anniversary a success! Dalnavert Museum has been a major issue over the past 12 months. With the decision by Society members to build a Visitor Centre for the museum, Council has discussed and debated endlessly on a proper plan of action to continue with its construction. Though the building plans for the centre have been revised over the years, I am confident construction will start on the new centre for what City Councillor Jenny Gerbasi calls, “one of the special jewels in the downtown area.” One of the first challenges as President was to fill the vacant positions of Executive, Council and Committees. I was extremely delighted and relieved to have both Gordon Goldsborough and Stephanie Middagh accept positions on the Executive as well as the many others that answered the call for Committee membership and representing our Society. Without this dedication, our Society would not exist. My one-year anniversary also coincides with that of our new Office Manager, Jackie Friesen. Jackie’s extensive experience in Municipal field and great sense of humour has assisted me enormously in running the Society.

  • Great Changes Have Been Wrought in Both the Politics
    Reflections on Being, and Becoming, MÉtis IN British ColumBIA Jean Barman and Mike Evans1 reat changes have been wrought in both the politics and 2 the historiography of Métis peoples since the groundbreaking volume edited by Jacqueline Peterson and Jennifer Brown, The New Peoples: Being and Becoming Métis in North America, was published G1985 in . This volume offered new insights into the history, sociology, and geography of Métis. It made complex the earlier simpler images of “mixed” European and First Nations people and communities, and provided a more extended context for understanding events such as those that transpired at Red River in today’s Manitoba in 1869-70. In part, The New Peoples redrew the boundaries of Canadian métissage by highlighting the connections between Métis of the Great Lakes and of the West and introducing the possibility of uniquely localized manifestations of Métis communities. Great political changes were afoot around this time; as part of the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982, Métis were recognized as Aboriginal peoples possessing Aboriginal rights, which, in turn, led to legal work towards establishing a definition of those rights. The Powley decision of 2003, in which the Supreme Court of Canada recognized both Métis rights and communities, marked a new chapter in Métis-State relations. A great deal of research, both historical and sociological, and sometimes both, has been spurred by this decision (e.g., 3 Lischke and McNab 2007) and by the Peterson and Brown volume. 1 The ideas in this article have their origins in many conversations, and we thank all those with whom we have discussed them.
