On Feb 6, 1934, Senate debates on the Indian Reorganization Act marked a shift away from allotment—but not a restoration of Indigenous sovereignty.
For the Michif, this history affirms why self‑determination matters. Li Michif ayamiwin lii zhenn—our voices remain. #Metis #MTMichif

This was the flag of the Provisional Government of Assiniboia, used during the Red River Resistance of 1869–1870. Led by Louis Riel, this government was instrumental in the birth of Manitoba as a province.

Looking for something to read this holiday season? Trying to find the right book for the Michif relative you know just can't resist a good read?

My curiosity was soothed, but I'm left pondering why Vanada would murder Louis Rièl for defending his nation.

Born between rivers & borders,
buffalo roads in our blood.
Red River hearts, prairie-root strong—
not erased, not forgotten.
We are still here, speaking memory,
braiding survival into tomorrow.
