Sheephunter,
I believe you are right, as in any society or culture there is always a percentage that bring shame upon the rest.
I also believe that the numbers are low for the unscrupulous fraction of the Metis.
I think the Government of Alberta is focussing on who are the rights bearing Metis in this Province in their fight against the Metis Nation of Alberta. In my opinion this is a good thing as so many wannabes claim to be Metis when they are not. Once this gets settled there will be less bad apples(wanabes etc...) out there to bring shame on the the true Metis rights bearing society.
Thanks,
Rafter
