the Métis community of Domaine du Roy and the lordship Mingan is undergoing a profound crisis which may to make it disappear. The body dissociates itself from the historian Russel Bouchard, who has done any research to fuel legal battle to obtain official recognition of the State under the constitutional provisions on indigenous peoples.

In recent days, members of the community were contacted for THE DAILY denounce the behavior of leaders who have chosen to exclude the historian of the approach the courts. These criticisms relate more specifically Jean-René Tremblay, the group's leader, and the directors Andrew and René Tremblay, who would have chosen, without submit the case to members no longer use the services of Russell Bouchard while the case should be heard in Superior Court.

seal yesterday, the main interest has confirmed information DAILY saying it had no choice and had to bow out. Russel Bouchard heard however, not allow that the remains of his research over four years to establish the argument in court. "I always said I would be respectful of the fruit of my research and historical truth. My next book will be hitting as my research shows that the two peoples have a common origin and it does not suit the schemers who led the community, "said the historian.
The latter is obviously disappointed at this turn of events and would not want this story demoralizes the community members who, like him, act in good faith and based on a search for identity in line with historical reality. The disappointment of the historian is accentuated by the fact that prosecutors have filed Métis Superior Court a request for financial provision to obtain assistance from the Quebec government to support their cause.
" Now that there is money on the horizon and four years of work have been made to constitute proof, they say that does not owe me anything, it's all over. This work is mine and the judge must take this into account in its decision. "

Russel Bouchard will not make a neighborhood. He warns the historian who dares to take over this issue by appropriating his own work. THE DAILY contacted other community members who wish to remain anonymous. They do not digest the treatment of the historian and intend to show time and place.

Position surprising
In addition to showing the door to the historian, the community is reached from Saguenay to lose it a project that would have allowed him to identify any research work under "Saguenay, Cultural Capital 2010".

"I am therefore compelled to inform you that due to the refusal of the Métis community, your project will receive funding as part of Saguenay, Cultural Capital of Canada 2010. He is not here to judge the quality of your work, "wrote the official LucMichel Belley, in a letter the historian.
In a missive from the Métis community, it is stated that the draft is Mr. Bouchard refused. The body means to the city that will advance the project entitled "The forgotten people."

happen to the project in question bears the same title as one of the books by Russel Bouchard. On this aspect of the case, the historian says he will never let itself stripped of his works, much less the content of his work.
