Metis news and stuff

good morning derryl

EIGHT ONTARIO METIS HARVESTERS FINED FOR HUNTING USING ABORIGINAL RIGHTS......AS A RIGHT.......

thats what happen when "Metis" outside,and inside the metis homeland
try to use the "ABORIGINAL"concept as a right.....a mistake that so called leaders of the M.N.C./M.M.F. use to-day...i have always maintained ....Metis must start using their Metis rights.......

Metis governance by the metis,for the metis

TO ALL METIS CITIZENS OF MANITOBA
FROM FORTUNAT GUIBOCHE
SUBJECT....METIS GOVERNANCE..
DATE MAY 26TH 2006,WINNIPEG,MANITOBA

This paper is dedicated to the memory of the co-founder of the MMF
The Rt Hon J.ANGUS SPENCE.............In recognition of his contribution,and dedication
to the metis citizens of Manitoba,Canada...............

After considerable thought I decided to put forward a paper outlining the possible
forms of a metis government......for consideration by the metis in this province....
considerable talk has surrounded this issue....but no clear outline has been provided for Manitoba`s
Metis citizens to study...discuss...and debate over.......all the points raised in this outline....
will be put out in such a way that the ordinary metis citizens can understand....
............here is the plan.......

First...I hope the J.Angus Spence Family has no objection to my usage of the name,and the
recognition,contribution,and dedication of this honorable man......which is long over due
by manitoba`s metis!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly.....This document will be presented to the public around the middle of july at a
location here in Winnipeg,Manitoba,and will be open to all metis citizens,including non-metis,...
the media...and all govts etc etc...exact date and location to be announced following the
mmf election...

Thirdly....the newly elected president and board will be welcome,and invited to attend
and participate............

fourthly......this work will begin immediately.......now, i am asking for at least two metis
volunteers with certain skills in putting to-gether this discussion paper.....
whoever volunteers will not regret it.......interested?????????you can
contact me at grefferg@shaw.ca in confidence,which i also expect......

Fifthly....Also needed will be printing of the complete discussion paper ie...paper,printing
costs ..etc etc....mmf regional office or mmf head office......any offers of assistance???????

I remind metis people again this will be an outline suggesting forms of self governance,and
a brief discripition of that form....the idea is to generate thoughtfull thinking on this
interesting and challenging subject...above all understanding the meaning of metis governance...

all this is conditional on recieving the assistance i mention above.....in order
to produce a good paper

politics is not a permanent job

For those interested in running for public office...should understand that poltics has no permanence ! ! ! !some get into
office on a technicality....and some lose by the same technicality.......... those sitting on the sidelines find something pleasant in their discomfort.........others grief........such is the way...... in this world of politics..........

SECTION 25 CANADA CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS

I found this interesting...The guide to the canadian charter of rights and freedoms
prepared by the govt of canada,in 2003....i draw your attn to section 25 the aboriginal clause
with this guide attached.. i quote.....

The constitution recognizes the rights of aboriginal peoples of canada(which include indian,inuit and metis
groups)in order to protect the culture,customs,traditions and languages of aboriginal peoples.

Do you see the point of interest??????.........

CANADA`S SHAME/MANITOBA`S SHAME

CANADA`S SHAME IS OUR SHAME TOO.....AND MANITOBA`S SHAME IS OUR SHAME TOO.........

What does SOVEREIGNITY mean

MY question is for all candidates(including those who won by acclamtion) what is your
interpretation of the word SOVEREIGNITY....this word has been used a lot lately and,
I cannot help but wonder... if they who utter this word understand the meaning
and the significance it holds......they, should explain its meaning to metis people....for the record..

Good morning folks

Well it looks like tempers will be active again in this election.....the problem as i see it stems
from the locals inability or prevention from doing there job!!!!...........they, the locals clearly have the responsibilities and duty for maintaining a registery for local members..... if changes are made after it leaves the local...then that is a different problem...one of interference by sources unknown....... this problem stems from the fact that.. the mmf inc.......allowed this to happen over time...by not providing the leadership necessary...and by taken over local/regional operations......the mmf.inc as become the metis agent
in fact..............for metis citizens .........

i have observed over the last while,that many are riding the messenger of the mmf inc... i speak of mr murry trachtenberg legal council.....the way i see it he is hired to represent the mmf.inc to the best of his ability..professionally..... he is doing his job......me thinks you should concentrate on the real problem....the board of directors mmf inc....they are still in power until they are defeated...they are responsible for any recent action taken on behalf of the mmf.inc.....

the whineing ...about their inadequacies as printed on metis voices is of no consequence to the whiners.......i speak of clem chartier and dave chartrand...mnc/mmf...they are living in their own illusion of self importance .....how did we metis ever allow this motley crew to highjack our peoples government.....
