News and Reflections: "I want to acknowledge the amazing historic significance of this incredible flag that was developed by the Acadian Souriquois Metis" -- January 26, 2025

A Facebook post from the Métis Alliance of Canada Cooperative:

I want to acknowledge the amazing historic significance of this incredible flag that was developed by the Acadian Souriquois Metis which I would love to see adopted by all our people in the east with the permission of the AAMS. This would show our distinct history as well as eastern unity.

When Samuel de Champlain met with Chief Membertou in Acadia which is now Nova Scotia, he linked the index fingers together of both hands and said, we will be joined like this as family and, our sons shall wed your daughters and henceforth we shall be one people.

This new relationship encouraged intermarriage between the French and Mi’kmaw, establishing a new hybrid race which many defined as the Acadian people.

... to acknowledge your great work and contribution" -- Daniel Poirier, Métis Alliance of Canada Cooperative
