WHEN WE LISTEN TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE MÉTIS NATIONAL COUNCIL CLÉMENT CHARTIER SPEECH FOR THE 30 ANNIVERSARY OF THE CREATION OF THE MÉTIS NATIONAL COUNCIL WRITTEN IN ENGLISH ONLY WITH NO STATEMENT IN FRENCH OR CREE MICHIF WE MUST START TO WONDER WERE OUR METIS IDENTITY AND PRIDE WENT. A SPEACH CERTAINLY NOT WRITTEN IN RESPECT OF THE LANGUAGE OF OUR MÉTIS ANCESTORS MORE SO BY TH ONE SPOKEN BY LOUIS RIEL AND THE PATRIOTS OF 1837. PAR LE CHÂSSIS Y SONT PÂRTI.

THE GRASS ROOT METIS DO NOT WANT TO SEE DESTROY THEIR MÉTIS NATION CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC TIES BY ASSIMILATED LEADERS WHO NO LONGER USE THE MISHIF LANGUAGE IN THEIR DAILY BUSINESS OPERATIONS , OR MÉTIS LEADERS WITH NO RECOGNITION OF METIS CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL CONNECTION TO THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE MÉTIS PEOPLE RIGHT FROM IT'S EASTERN BEGINNING. WE MUST MAKE ALL ATTEMPT TO RE-EMPOWERED OUR CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC IDENTiTY INSIDE THE WALL OF MOST MÉTIS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE VERGE OF COMPLETELY EMPTYING THEIR TRUES CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL TIES AND DENYING THE USE OF THE MÉTIS LANGUAGE TO THE GRASS ROOT MÉTIS .

AS GRASS ROOT MÉTIS WE MUST MAKE SURE THE METIS NATIONAL COUNCIL BECOME REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC IDENTITY . THEY MUST BE REMINDED , WITHOUT THIS FRENCH or CREE MISHIF LANGUAGE THE MÉTIS NATION DOES NOT EXIST. THE GRASS ROOT MÉTIS WANT TO SEE THE DAY THE METIS NATIONAL COUNCIL WILL BE USING ITS NATIONAL MICHIF LANGUAGES TO COMMUNICATE WITH ITS FRENCH MISHIF CITIZENS AND STILL SPOKEN BY MOST MÉTIS IN ALL THE PROVINCES IN CANADA LIKE ST-LAURENT MANITOBA, LAC LABICHE AND ST-ANNE ALBERTA , ÎLE À LA CROSSE AND BATOCHE SASKATCHEWAN , MOST OF NORTHERN ONTARIO, KELLY LAKE BRITISH COLUMBIA AND QUÉBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK OF COURSE. WHAT A MÉTIS CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC CELEBRATION THAT WILL BE .

ENOUGH IS ENOUNG WE MUST ASSERT WHO WE ARE LINGUISTICALLY AS MÉTIS ALL ACROSS CANADA. THE MÉTIS PEOPLE MUST START THIS CULTURAL REVOLUTION BY ASSERTING THEMSELVES TO SPEAK DAYLY THEIR MICHIF LANGUAGE , BY RE INTRODUCING THEIR MICHIF LANGUAGE IN PUBLIC PLACES AND IN THEIR ORGANIZATIONAL POLITICAL MEETINGS . THEY MUST EMPOWER THEMSELVES TO DEMAND TO BE SERVED IN THE MICHIF LANGUAGE IN THEIR COMMUNITY, IN PROVINCIAL ORGANIZATIONS AND BY THE METIS NATIONAL COUNCIL AND TO MAKE SURE THIS LANGUAGE IS IN USE IN THEIR DAYLY BUSINESS OF OPERATION WITH THEIR CITIZENS, AND FULLY REPRESENTATIVE OF WHO THE MÉTIS PEOPLE ARE.

COMMENT: The Current Métis identity promoted by western Métis Leaders has become standardized, frozen in the English canadian mentality to look and act a certain way for political purposes, a kind of FLUFF AND FIDDLE WINDOW DRESSING IDENTITY FOR METIS . I am questioning these Metis leaders where are their Métis culture, their Métis language, their Métis heart and their Métis soul went to ? They are ironically the one saying, the Métis of Québec are not Métis because they speak the original French Michif forgetting also where their Métis family came from originally.

But there is hope as we starting to see new Métis leaders at the Métis National Council inspired by Louis Riel vision to bring some changes . If not we will see the northern Ontario and Québec and Nabitoba Métis be constantly oppressed and marginalized by the western Métis members of the Métis National Council and among many other Métis in other provinces in Canada and USA because we still speak our French Michif language. It is just a question of time as this Métis Cultural and Métis linguistic revolution is growing among the Métis grass root all across Canada.

The western Métis needs the Québec Métis to help them gain back and retain their Michif languages . Certain things just cannot be translate and appropriate by western Métis and Country born Halfbreed to dressed themselves with symbol of what eastern Métis did provided to them for their own Métis cultural and linguistic recognition and survival. And if they want to claim the Voyageur as their ancestors they better also remember these Métis voyageurs were not from the west but from the East the start of they journey and the place were they signed their contract. The ironny of all is that if Louis Riel would enter an MNC office to request membership today , he would be refused because his family origin came from Québec not the prairies.

Debout Les Métis. Palons nous en language mishif, pi onse compendra ben mieux.

THE METIS CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC REVOLUTION IS GROWING AMONG THE METIS GRASS ROOT. JOIN US AND SPEAK YOUR MÉTIS LANGUAGE .
