That's a very good question.
Of course right now we're in battle in the courts in terms of land rights for the Métis. But for the Métis in Alberta, who have eight Métis settlements set aside by the province in 1938, the Métis do not have a land base, but Métis do have a rich history of having worked on the land, with the land, living off the land, and also part of the fur trade economy, a substantial part, including the buffalo hunt, the provision of the pemmican, the freighters, and so on and so forth.
I was trying to think of something as we were talking. I would think that during that year in Ottawa, perhaps there could be an opportunity for pavilions to be established in which aboriginal peoples could share their culture and history with those people who will be visiting Ottawa from around the world, and from the rest of Canada. I think that would be a great place to explain these kinds of things. For example, in northwest Saskatchewan we have done traditional land-use mapping. I interviewed our elders, and they have done it in various other parts as well.
Things like that could be put forth for the public to look at. Of course, for us the biggest thing that could happen is if we signed a massive land claim treaty with the government that would enable some of the return of our lands within that year.
