More evidence of the fraudulent conduct by "Eastern métis" individuals and organizations. Check out the membership card for the Communauté Wik Wam Sun Oté, the "treaty partner" of the Council of the First Métis People of Canada [sic]. 
That same organization in NB had previously signed a "treaty" with the Métis Federation of Canada [sic]. They then hosted the first assembly of the Council of First Métis People of Canada [sic] in summer 2016.
Their member walked into a gas bar in a Mi'kmaw community in NS earlier today and presented their card, claiming it was a "status" card that granted them a tax exemption. Staff recognized it as a fraudulent card for a number of reasons:
Remember when a company tested 2 dogs as having "Indigenous" DNA? Well, it appears that the company, Accu-metrics (Viaguard), has now stopped offering its "First Nation, Metis & Native American DNA Testing Service." #raceshifting #selfindigenization

But not before its service facilitated the race shifting process. Here's an example of a new "métis" org in QC that was created on the strength of their bogus DNA testing. They have a partnership agreement. #raceshifting #selfindigenization

A few months later, the "chief" of that organization traveled to Paris with a range of other "chiefs" to file an official complaint with the UN about the federal government's non-recognition of their claims to Indigenous identity and rights.

About a year ago, @adamgaudry and I published an article that analyzed 2 organizations facilitating race shifting: "White Settler Revisionism and Making Métis Everywhere." Follow the thread for access to an important data source.

I've since found an English-language translation of the brief that the (now) Métis Nation of the Rising Sun [sic] presented back in 2007 to the Bouchard-Taylor Commission arguing that there are no distinct Indigenous peoples in QC, only the "métis"! (4 pages of 6 attached).
The brief, presented to a public audience in Sherbrooke, starts by saying: "We present you this document as the only direct descendants of the First Peoples in QC, [...] whose members have been killed by microbial shock." #biologicalracism #raceshifting #selfindigenization
Guess what? The race shifters have struck again --> #JustinTrudeau is "Eastern métis"! 🤨🤔
The Feds just met with this org to encourage "reconciliation" - and now they indigenize the Prime Minister through a French-woman-magically-turned-Indigenous. Follow the thread for more!

The story (see below) explains that #JustinTrudeau has Acadian ancestry through the Savoie patronym/line. François Savoie married Catherine Lejeune in present-day Nova Scotia in 1655. #raceshifting #selfindigenization

There's active Acadian genealogy community seeking to identify Indigenous women in 1600s for purpose of constructing "Acadian-métis" identity today. Catherine Lejeune, a woman born in France, has fallen victim to the #selfindigenization movement through no fault of her own.
More remarkable efforts by Métis Nation of the Rising Sun [sic], which was founded by 9 hunters in 2006 to oppose a Mi'kmaw territorial project. 2 weeks ago in court they claimed that their "Métis Nation" has existed for over 10,000 years!!

A few choice excerpts in translation: "The [Métis Nation of the Rising Sun] was incorporated on June 16, 2006, but the Gaspésie [and region] Métis community was born 10,000 years ago."
Their Grand-Chief [sic] continues: "The Nation [sic] will submit treaties, including contracts demonstrating Aboriginal rights over its vast territory, rights to hunt, to fish ... that have never been surrendered, territory reserved [for] all natural descendants to infinity."
Part 3 in @ChiuCBC + @CBCNews series on so-called "métis" groups in NS. Turns out that the feds have been meeting with 7 of the groups in the name of "reconciliation"! #selfindigenization #raceshifting

It's worth posting this table again given attention that "Acadian-métis" organizations have been getting in media. Remember that organizations representing a distinct "métis" people in NS first emerged after the Marshall decision (1999) + again after the Powley decision (2003).
Another table looking at these remarkable stats from another angle. This time, the proportion of Aboriginal people identifying as Métis in the census:
