At a recent seminar in Ottawa, Ontario, a lady stood up and questioned the Metis National Council president Clement Chartier with a very valid qestion with regard to metis, and the existence of metis in the east. She was essentially told that she was not his kind.
Through the celebration of Harry Daniels's great win on April 14th 2016 at the Supreme Court of Canada, Harry Daniels vs Canada, (http://www.cbc.ca/news/aboriginal/metis-indians-supreme-court-ruling-1.3535236) high praises were made of Harry Daniels, yet they still failed to accept his dream.
The said quote, and the highest praises of this hero Harry Daniels can be seen in this video, which the MNC(Metis National Council) produced.
To get a better sense of Harry's idea of the "metis homeland", please see the linked pdf.
Appendix 5F: Correspondence Concerning the Métis of Labrador
So, Mr. Chartier, where is your arguement? We the metis that do not come from the Red River roots, want to know why you don't believe in coast to coast to coast metis people, as you mention on your website.
