PADDLE 13 A,,: lRl k: C., ele. b rct. in 50 Years .13,. . . .., Decision to fight government eviction creates need for first Metis homeland By Everett Lambert Wndspeaker Correspondent
PADDLE PRAIRIE, Alta.
Some 60 years ago a group of Metis squatters decided to organize and fight the government's decision to evict them from their homelands near Fishing Lake. The reason for the evic- tion was the intended trans- fer of natural resource rights to the provinces which would effectively wipe out the rights of the Metis inhabitants. This event served as Early Paddle Prairie: At 403,027 acres, it is the largest piece of Aboriginal land in Canada impetus to what became Canada's only legally rec- these leaders whose gen- and concerning the prob- On those Keg River Metis Colony brate the 50 golden years uine concern ognized homeland for for Metis life lems of health, education recommendations, some No. 1, known today as the since the passing of the to Metis people.
