Thank you for your question.
We certainly have concerns beyond the use of Métis identity.
For example, let us look of our flag, which displays the symbol of infinity. It was first brandished at the victory of the Battle of the Grenouillère, which took place in Winnipeg. This battle was not fought in Ontario, Quebec or eastern Canada; it was fought here in Manitoba. Our flag was first displayed to the public in 1816.
People talk about Louis Riel as chief or the use of Red River carts, but let us not forget that these are symbols that come from us. This is the history of our people. We are concerned about the use of our culture and history by organizations that present themselves as Métis organizations.
