The MNO maintains that all #Métis citizens, including gender-diverse, have a place in our circle. Therefore, the MNO stands in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQ+ community today, and strongly believes that transphobia has no place in our communities, nor our schools.

Today marks 20 years since the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously affirmed the existence and protection of Métis rights. The #TDSB community celebrates this landmark decision on September 19, known as #PowleyDay, with Métis communities throughout the provinces and territories.

Historically Métis and First Nations in Ontario acted as allies.
Anishinaabe around Sault Ste. Marie not only knew and were familiar with the Métis, they supported Métis claims to their river lot homes. 1/2

While Métis history in Ontario is often untold, Métis communities and their assertions are not new. Ontario Métis participated in the Mica Bay Uprising in 1849-50 and signed the Halfbreed Adhesion to Treaty 3 in 1875. 1/2

In the early-1800s, the historic records show that “Halfbreeds” in the Upper Great Lakes—as a distinct group—were included in the Crown’s diplomatic relations, alliance building and present giving with other Indigenous peoples. 3/3

Métis communities in Ontario—recognized by other Indigenous peoples and the Crown— are a matter of historic fact. 🧵 1/3

As the treaty-making process began in the Upper Great Lakes region of Ontario and continued throughout what is now northern Ontario, the historic record consistently shows that the Crown encountered distinct Métis communities. 2/3

Did you know the 1996 final report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) devoted an entire section to Métis history, identity, and political realities?
In the “Métis Perspectives” chapter, RCAP recognized Métis communities in Ontario.
