Your right there David, Metis are alive and well. And we are making ourselves known. There are over 30 Metis groups here in Michigan alone. I've enrolled with the Metis of Canada, since my own Band claims they aren't excepting anymore. Oh well, most of my relation on the rolls, are Metis anyway........so i know no matter which one i'm enrolled with, it's all good company. Hope everyone has a Great Christmas.........Louise . \ David Fournier <eydistrict@hotmail.com> wrote: Beautifully done and great information, but with all due respect the Metis are not gone but alive and well .
