That's a lot. Congratulations on all of those roles and the good work that you're doing in your community.

I want to know a bit more about the Métis of British Columbia because I am interested. I was doing a little bit of research, and I saw in the citizenship application form that there is a lot of talk about the process and the year 1901 as an important portion of it. As well, as part of your registration for citizenship application you require a five-generation pedigree chart. Can you tell us more about the Métis of B.C. and your system of enrolment?
