democratize Se ... or perish !
Democratize fashion by Aboriginal or perish before birth ... Métis communities in Quebec have a pressing need to review their internal management mode. The slippage is anti-democratic reality in many communities and must be seen to avoid the Italian government as one that caused the collapse of the AAQ and prints for quilts that have undermined the whole cause of Métis of Quebec.

for recovery of lost French nationality in 1763 the Treaty of Paris
We publish below, courtesy of its authors, a record that we supported the presentation with French authorities on behalf of history and solidarity of the French civil societies.
"We are a breed that will not die" This sentence
Maria Chapdelaine by Louis Hemon, repeated in Menaud master draveur Félix-Antoine Savard, expresses the feeling revived today Quebecers and other French-speaking Canadians who feel increasingly minor and endangered by a policy - an ancient and formidable consistency - the majority of Canadian and North American English, and by their own indecision due the length of sustained dominance.
A minority of them would, however, recover French nationality they believe, not without arguments, not having actually lost when the English conquest. Not necessarily blind and immoderate love of France, but keep in touch with their roots, their history as one tries, there, much more than here in France, to erase their memories.
In this case, our editorial merely give you three brief illumination, it deems appropriate to illustrate a real problem too obscured:
- the anxiety of identity;
- the special case of a revival of the Métis ;
- the desire has been less, and that France does not wish official (can not?) not feed or encourage, to recover French nationality, and to challenge what was seen as the loss in 1763 to be hereunto Treaty of Paris.
1) identity Anxiety Quebecers of French descent
Here is an excerpt from an "Open Forum" written after a Canadian federal decision regarding the definition of citizenship, sent May 23, 2008 at Vigil (Quebec sovereignty site) by Marie Mance Valley, Quebec activist, author of the article below on the French Métis of Quebec and Canada ("The Métis re-form the ranks"):

There are more people founder; there now that people (including the Francophone community that is no longer strain) of all origins under state protection, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Supreme Court of Canada. There never was a crisis of reasonable accommodation, he has never had any problems. This is our identity that insecurity is the cause of everything. So we have to shoot what some call the "disease of identity". One hallmark will ensure that we differentiated the decades and centuries to come, or the crucifix in the National Assembly. It's a chance. At least some traces of the founding people of America North. One day, we tell the children that this remnant of people who "never had a history", was already Christian.

2) The Metis re-form the ranks ...
Although the existence Métis of Quebec has been grossly overlooked and often denied by the various powers, among others, the federal government and the Quebec government, particularly since the mid-nineteenth century, the Métis of the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and the North Shore re-form the ranks under the banner of the Métis community of Domaine du Roy and the Lordship of Mingan (CMDRSM). The territory has been demarcated, habits and customs that have changed so little since returned to the fashion of the day. Clans (Charlevoix, North Shore, the Grand Brûlé de la Manic, Chicoutimi, Landlocked Salmon, Lake Saint-Jean/Piékouagami and north-central Saguenay), have been trained and appointed captains of villages. A breath of fresh air!
Since the founding of New France in the early seventeenth century, Jesuit Relations, the writings of the admirable Mother Mary of the Incarnation, and the King Louis XIV himself speaks does not "savages converted to the Roman Catholic faith ... . You should know that the King that encouraged marriages between Indians and Europeans, in this case the French, was even tough to force these gentlemen to take a wife. Fur traders who traveled and founded cities and towns across America North, the interpreters, explorers, Dollard des Ormeaux, though outlawed in history by revisionist historians in bad faith, are also proof. And much more! The Métis of Manitoba, including their leader Louis Riel was hanged for having claimed their territory, they were not from Quebec? Does not speak it not in the writings of mixed blood, whites or Indians feral white America as the most recently called Philippe Jacquin, French anthropologist and ethnologist known and recognized. Who dares to question the oral traditions that family from generation to generation, relate the story of each family. Progeny from these marriages in the fashion of the country "or Christian unions.
Rumors circulated in recent years to the effect that the federal government, the Quebec government and Montagnais (Innu today) were negotiating behind closed doors, a treaty called the Common Approach where there was talk of restoring a large only part of the territory to the Innu. Is the shock, disbelief, consternation among the founders of this region, especially among the Métis who see there the dispossession of land they had developed, questioning their own identity.
Do not worry, they will go to court! Indeed, Article 35 of the Canadian Constitution of 1982 does not recognize it as Aboriginal, Inuit, Métis and Indians?
But for the sagacity of a group of Métis Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and Côte-Nord, and that of our relationship of memory, the mestizo historian Russel-A. Bouchard, disgruntled, but mostly worried about the turn events were taking on the Quebec identity and territory, the history of Metis was finally swept into oblivion. Since the mid-nineteenth century, most recently, our political elite was bent on promoting a certain civic nation and improbable, as if it were possible and realistic to give birth in a few years, a new nation. Civic nation, multiculturalism, interculturalism, all expressions that indicated the willingness of governments, political parties, intellectual elites to redefine the Quebec nation: a kind of "melting po" t to the U.S. or a set of ghettos . Why a new nation when we already have one? ... Have not we always included until recently newcomers?
year 2000 was a pivotal year for the Métis Community Domaine du Roy and the Lordship of Mingan (CMDRSM), most of whose members are French, the language of their fathers and mothers. The cemeteries in the area speak for themselves ...
There is no doubt that the Metis Nation Quebec exists. And there are thousands. Communities in Gaspésie, Eastern Townships and elsewhere in Quebec back in the light of day, while others are in training.
One thing is certain, the Métis CMDRSM are here to stay now. Since the conquest, we suffered repeated assaults, to convert us, often in spite of ourselves, language and culture and English in recent decades in Anglo-American culture. However, it is increasingly worrying that the enthusiasm of some, alas! even in France for the English language, could give another face to this community. The greatest vigilance is therefore required! Marie Mance Vallee
