As for Metis. My neighbor has Metis relatives on his large Angus farm.

Do I have any deer left on my farm?

This "our culture" trap is killing the wildlife, and I don't see any change in the near future

Well don't feel bad, the everyday Aboriginal doesn't see much of that money either. By the time it filters down through all the bureaucracy there isn't much left.

That really doesn't have anything to do with the Metis. Being First Nations and Metis is not the same, we don't get the same rights and privileges that First Nations do.

I thought this thread was about Metis harvesting rights........
