Michif man on a mission.
Too much goes on just now. Too much bad news. Gonna take a break for a while. Don’t know when, or if, I will be back. Take care of yourselves.

Just watched a little of the American president and vice president attacking Presdent Zelenskyy just now.

How shameful. The US leaders are complete buffoons. A clown show!

If you wanna know why I was winging about the whole America invading Canada thing even though both are colonizer states?

Yeah; it was because of shit like this.

Interesting commentary.

I would agree the MMF is not a whole nation on its own. It would be more like a band, or conglomeration of bands, representing those who are registered as its citizens.
First, there's no such thing as a modern treaty. Second, the MMF is not a nation, it's a provincial organization, so it can't sign a real treaty.
The Manitoba Métis Federation will be the first Métis group to sign a modern treaty with the federal government.

The signing ceremony is set to happen on Saturday afternoon, and will recognize the Manitoba Métis Federation as the government of the Red River Métis.

Okay, I reposted a thread by francisdanger.bsky.social because it was too cool not to and it should be boosted everywhere. It’s mike drop material.

(One of these days I’ll even learn the difference between repost and quote so I even do it properly.)

Anyway, go read it.

Trying to follow any and every Indigenous person on the Sky I can find. I don’t know what is going on half the time, been surprised once or twice, but I’m having fun. Until my next random, infrequent comment.

Starting to find people I recognize here, as well as new and interesting accounts. So, taanishi friends old and new!

Hello Bluesky, what a breath of fresh air this is. I’m an old Michif guy who likes talking and learning about Indigenous history, culture, rights, present struggles and victories, and the futures of our Nations. I like to bead and look at beadwork, too, so feel free to show me your work.
