Tansi All: My good friend, Barb Miller, told me about this list and the wonderful group of people on it. She urged me to sign on and here I am. I, too, am a Metis person from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan with ancestral roots reaching back to Orkney (Twatt, Bremner lines). I, too, am eager to make contact with any present-day Orcadians who have or know of those who have Metis blood. Why? Well the more I read about Canadian (and Orcadian) history, the more I realize how much of it was built on the blood, sweat and tears of both the Orcadian people and on the backs of the Metis people. And yet, for some reason, the history books and the television documentaries never seem to give either the Orcadians or the Metis their rightful due. I feel a real draw toward the people of Orkney and I would like to visit there one day. Thank you in advance, Sincerely, Bob Rock Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
