People are for the first time taking the necessary steps to be registered and recognized as Citizens of the Meeqwetch, President David Chartrand, LL.D. (hon), O.M. Overview of Daniels vs Canada Ruling On Apr. 14, 2016, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Métis are recognized as “Indians” under Section 91(24) of the Constitution Act (1867), as a result of the Daniels vs. Canada case. The Métis are now included as one of the three Indigenous groups recognized as “Indians” under the Constitution Act (1867), along with First Nations and Inuit. As result of the ruling, the federal government is now responsible for negotiating with the Métis as a nation. This decision establishes that the Métis Nation can approach the federal government about issues relating to their citizens, and the government has a positive responsibility to acknowledge, discuss, and negotiate issues brought forward by the Métis Nation.

  • Myrna Kostash the SEVEN OAKS READER
    Myrna Kostash THE SEVEN OAKS READER (EXCERPTS)1 From the Preface by Myrna Kostash . The Seven Oaks Reader gathers together a wide diversity of texts with differing perspectives to narrate a controversial historic event, in this case the “battle” between armed settlers and armed Métis buffalo hunters on 19 June 1816 at The Forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers in what is now Winnipeg. The death of twenty-one settlers and one Métis led to no conclusive judicial outcome but has reverberated down through the generations of descendants of both communities as a formative event in their history in western Canada. As a born and bred western Canadian who has lived most of her life in Alberta, I was nevertheless ignorant of this “legacy” incident and so I set out to find as many sources for its telling as I could. More than a textbook or anthology of voices, the Reader works as a drama of interplaying, sometimes contradictory, often contrapuntal narratives. Given that some of the narrative dates to 1816 and that the historians themselves began publishing histories of Manitoba as far back as the 1850s, it is unsurprising that, from an editorial point of view, there are inconsistencies and even infelicities of word usage and spelling. So, one reads of both the Hudson Bay Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company, of North-Westers and Nor’Westers (agents and employees of the North West Company), of Bois Brules and Bois-Brûlés, of mixed bloods and Mixed Bloods, of Metis and Métis, of Miles Macdonell and Miles MacDonnell.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev.

We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • The Iroquois: Voyageurs of the North-West and Oregon Territories
    THE IROQUOIS: VOYAGEURS OF THE NORTH-WEST AND OREGON TERRITORIES by Michael A. Landry B.Sc., Chemistry and Anthropology University of Northern British Columbia, 2002 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA January 2020 © Michael A. Landry, 2020 ABSTRACT This thesis will posit that the Iroquois migrations into the Northwest and Oregon Territories are misunderstood in their interactions amongst both the Indigenous and frontiersmen. By Iroquois we specifically mean the French-speaking and Catholic Iroquois who settled in New France in Sault St. Louis (1680), Lac des Deux-Montagnes (1717) and in 1755 when the St. Régis Mission was established. After 150 years of acculturation (1650s to 1800s), these Iroquois had become a hybrid culture with a syncretic Catholicism. The Iroquois immigrated to the Saskatchewan River in 1799 to escape ‘improvements of civilization’ in the east and to follow the mode of life of their forefathers. Peter Fidler’s three versions of the Chesterfield House incident, where 14 Iroquois and 2 Canadiens were killed, will be analyzed to provide a new understanding of the role of the Iroquois as central actors in the fur trade rivalries. Keywords: Haudenosaunee, Mohawk, syncretism, deputation, Chesterfield House, Peter Fidler, pioneer. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii-iv Illustrations – List of Figures iv Acknowledgements v-vi INTRODUCTION 1 The Archival Source 4 Organization of the Thesis 5 CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW 9 1.1 What is in the Name Iroquois 9 1.2 Conversion and Identity: Iroquois Christianity in the 17th Century 12 1.3 Dispossession of the Iroquois Land Base at Sault St.

For native peoples, the past is often a battleground, where native interpretations of events come up against colonial, European narratives that emphasize native erasure and Euro-American colonial triumph. Thus for native people, reclaiming the past and articulating a distinct form of their own history is vital to emphasizing their continued presence in the contemporary world . Through an examination of the Métis people of Western Canada, who, since the late 19th and early 20th century have sought to reclaim their history, I hope to show that for native peoples, the past is a battleground that is directly tied to contemporary native concerns.
