The collaborative research site, Sang-Mêlé, curated by AAMS Board Member Chris Boudreau, is all about identity and comes from a good place. This site provides insights into the published, historical records and documents that prove our community's origins -- for Nova Scotia and Quebec lineages. This site is a work in progress, as stated, but it's very important that this work is shared at this time. Please feel free to SHARE the link provided here. There's a "contact us" form on the site, and an email address, where you may provide any feedback.

Excerpt from the website: "Sang-mêlé, half-breed, Metif, Acadien Mikmaks, Metis-Acadiens, Half Breed Acadian Indians, Metis, Metive, Mitifs, Mulastres, Créoles, are the many names that have been used to define our ancestors in the eastern part of Canada. There are traces of us in many archives and historical documents. Oral histories have been passed down in many of our families about our existence. We have been collecting the pieces for a few years and we will start to share them here. We are not after “rights”, the goal is to draw an image of who we are, where we are from and how we are connected."  Learn more. Visit the website:  https://www.sangmele.net.
