MOST MÉTIS LIVED lN EASTER CANADA BEFORE THE BIRTHING OF SECTION 91-24 OF THE CANADIAN CONSTITUTION OF 1867

Everyone among Métis people must remember that when the Constitution of Canada was written by the Fathers of the Confederation, the word Indian they referred to in section 91-24 was mostly the Aboriginal people living among French and English of upper and lower eastern Canada, with whom they were in daily contact with in war and in peace and supported by Pre-Confederation treaties.

Therefore the description of the word Indian given under section 91-24 refers to all Aboriginal people being First Nations and Métis with whom they were in contact with in eastern Canada since 1534, when the peoples and the provinces west of Ontario were just starting to establish themselves with Métis and French voyageurs and new comers from Québec .

This as been recognized by a decision of the Supreme court of Canada in 2014 in which Eastern Métis are recognized as Indian under section 91-24 of the Constitution of Canada.

Unfortunately this decision will be challenged by the Canadian government in its legal content and definition.

Also and foremost, this decision is sadly challenged in its historic and cultural content by the leadership of the Métis National Council that refuse recognition of the existence of Métis East of Northern Ontario and claim that Métis are exclusive to the Red River settlement when in fact 91-24 was written when the settlement was 25 years old and barely populated.

It is the responsibility of all western Métis Peoples to redress this injustice and petition the leadership of the Métis National Council to reconsider its position and to recognise the Métis People of eastern Canada as the original builders of the Métis Nation of Canada who provided to the western Métis their culture, their language and their Métis identity which started and was in use way before the writing of section 91-24 of the Canadian constitution of 1867 and the establishment of the Red River settlement.

Yes We all agree that Métis have to be define according to cultural continuity and Métis family clans all across Canada an in respect of all provincial and historical disparities.

But Eastern Métis now protected under 91-24 have great difficulties to digest to be denied recognition by Western Métis so colonized and so assimilated to the English culture and the English language and by Western Halfbreed Country-born who identified themselves as Métis with no cultural, linguistic and historic ties to the Métis.

Therefore the Métis of Québec déclare that this Supreme Court decision is the corner stone of a new Métis era and a new beginning for the Eastern Métis in Canada. Anyone who refuse their recognition as Métis under section 91-24 of the Canadian constitution of 1867 will have to face a major Eastern Métis Cultural Rebellion, as such action will be perceived as a Métis ethnic cleansing.
