Yes. Having a land base is directly tied to cultural connectiveness, which is directly tied to mental health. So the lack of a land base here in British Columbia does contribute to challenges. The Métis are spread across our province so we don't have that connection to the land.
I was speaking with an elder recently who said that because we don't have that land, we don't have that connection, which disrupts our identity and our mental health.
You said Alberta has Métis settlements. It's so completely different here in British Columbia, because we don't have that. I think that answers your question.
