This could be big, or could be more lip service. We shall see. It doesn't give any #land rights or #harvesting rights, it's more about internal affairs and #governance, so I'm not too hopeful.

The market is flooded with "content mills" selling 2024 tutorials. If your curriculum doesn't cover Agentic Workflows and MCP, you’re paying for a paperweight. I've audited the top programs—from Metis's to Nucamp. #Upskilling #Nucamp #Metis #TripleTen #Springboard

I relate to this so much; I also have the layer that I am #urban #metis and white in appearance with a #settler paternal heritage.
#Lateralviolence needs to stop. It was #colonialism that divided our people, not #Indigenous ourselves.

So, as I suspected, my maternal grandmother was #Metis, but ashamed of it. I just did some genealogy research on her ancestry -- #NativeAmerican Canadian on both her mother's and father's side. And I found the #ResidentialSchool where our family was taught that it was bad to be a "dirty little Indian" (a phrase she would use on me when I would walk around barefoot, or spent more time in Nature than indoors.)
Where light hibernates, and the road remembers.
St. Albert becomes the Upper March: a radiant, moving nation of Kin, solar rituals, memory beads, and stubborn hope after the end of the world.

#DavidChartrand of the #Manitoba #Métis Federation has been the president for 28 years. He's getting up there in age and considering retirement, yet I can't imagine anybody replacing him. The #MMF wouldn't be where it is today without him.
I highly suggest #bookmarking this incredibly in-depth, amazing #Educational #resource for #IndigenousFoods of #Canada 👇
Important educational project that's still in progress & continually updated!
The #StudentEncyclopedia of Indigenous Foods of Canada is an initiative by agriculture #students at the University of Guelph (Canada) under the supervision of Prof. Manish N. Raizada (Editor) and talented graduate students including from the #FirstNations and #Metis communities. The mission of the Encyclopedia is to share the rich food and agriculture history of the First Nations, Metis and #Inuit peoples of Canada. The #Encyclopedia is written in plain language and targeted at primary and high school students as well as the general public. Editing of the Encyclopedia remains in progress; however, the site has been published to allow early access.
