I'd forgotten about Quebec. And are the metis still around?? Plus, lst's remember The Kurds, The South Ossetians, the Basques, the Bretons and the Muslim minorities in China's far west, to name but a few.
My opinion here only, in an answer. From what I observe, the Metis trying very hard to sort out any problems within their people. To digress- for a chuckle, we had the Department of Fisheries charge two men locally. They had fished over the limit. They claimed Metis status. One was a 64th Metis and the other 128th Metis. They won.
It is the "First Nations" status for the Indian (no,no word) population that has caused some problems. In Southern Ontario, a whole nice little town-Caledonia, has been under siege for over a year. Land claims. Police stand by, haunted by an inquiry, over a man shot by police over 15 years ago, during native violence against military property. Citizens assaulted, bridge burned and power station vandalized.
A third of tobacco taxes lost to the government by smuggling cigarettes on to "First Nations" land. (By New York State). What a carry on! (wry chuckle).
