MMF President David Chartrand
President Chartrand responds to Winnipeg Free Press editorial

I am writing in response to your editorial “Metis Claim Futile” (June 7, 2010). The editor of the Winnipeg Free Press questions the wisdom of the Manitoba Metis Federation decision to appeal a ruling on land claims and suggests that the MMF membership tell its leaders to quit. The Manitoba Court of Appeal indicated in its ruling that the issues raised in this case are “unique and important”. It is the ultimate function of the Supreme Court of Canada to decide unique and important issues and rule on cases of national importance.

THE METIS

Manitoba is the birthplace of the Metis Nation.

The Metis are a people of North American Indian and European ancestry who coalesced into a distinct nation in the northwest in the late 18th century.

The Metis were a prominent and independent people in the 19th century and rose to resist the takeover of their homeland. Unfortunately, the immigration from Ontario, the United States and Europe was too strong and destructive, and the Metis Nation was defeated following a second resistance by Louis Riel.
