This is NOT a discussion group. This forum is used to post Metis, Native American First Nations news, articles and information of general interest to all aborignal peoples.

By consolidating these news postings here, we hope to have a single source point to access news and information that may otherwise be missed.

Postings regarding gatherings, events, and other announcements of general interest are highly encouraged. Please also use the “Calendar” section so everyone can have ready access to any upcoming events.

The main focus of this list is to distribute NEWS. We recommend the Southernmetis discussion group on Yahoo as a forum for discussion.
