The Eastern Woodland Metis Nation and Cape Breton

Cape Breton: The Eastern Woodland Metis Nation formed its Cape Breton division last August after its leaders noticed many islanders petitioning to join the group, according to The Chronicle Herald. The ceremony, followed by a meeting, comes in the wake of a Federal Court of Appeal decision on April 17 that upheld a landmark ruling that could eventually confer greater access to hunting, fishing and social programming for Metis people and Cape Bretons newest Metis group inducted eight elders Sunday during a ceremony on Isle Madame. This is new territory for us, Emile Gautreau, a spiritual elder, said of Cape Breton. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
