My Grandfather, My Role Model
February 13, 2013
I am Métis. In my family, we call ourselves Chippewa Cree because of the group that we travelled with after the North West Resistance. My grandfather’s family originally signed Treaty 4 but was later discharged from Treaty because of their participation in the Resistance. The Canadian government wasn’t particularly fond of Indigenous people standing up for their rights. Some things are slow to change.
Speechless. Read.
Thank you for re-blogging my article. Humbled that you’re speechless. Miigwech.
