News and Reflections: Keith Henry Letter of June 16th, 2023

6/19/2023

 
The attached letter is shared with the permission of Keith Henry, President BC Metis Federation and includes the following quotation from Chief Justice Dickson, R v. Keegstra:

“Hatred is predicated on destruction, and hatred against identifiable groups therefore thrives on insensitivity, bigotry and destruction of both the target group and of the values of our society. Hatred in this sense is a most extreme emotion that belies reason; an emotion that, if exercised against members of an identifiable group, implies that those individuals are to be despised, scorned, denied respect and made subject to ill-treatment on the basis of group affiliation."

The following quotation, and blog post link are provided courtesy of the  Ontario Metis Family Records Center (omfrc.org):

"Being Indigenous isn’t about what you can get because you happen to have Red blood. It’s about something much deeper…and that meaning is something that is unique to each Métis person. Imagine how Riel would feel if he could see the situation of his people today? What would he say about how far (or not) we’ve come? Would he agree with those who say they know what it is to be Métis, and that others do not? It’s a passionate and heated conversation happening all over the Métis community today, and it’s one of fundamental importance. The vision of Louis Riel and all those who were by his side was for the unification and acknowledgement of all Métis people from coast to coast – Nowhere does he speak only of a vision for one place or one group of people. The science and history behind the matter clearly shows that not only are we all related, but much more closely than was previously imagined or acknowledged. The rest is up to us."

 "Opinion: A wish for 2022: We become more inquisitive and discerning about the words we use: Let’s question our vocabulary around Indigenous issues. What does “community” mean? Who is a “pretendian” and who’s “real”? Who manages the criteria?"  ... by Suzanne Keeptwo, Contributor, Toronto Star (Tuesday, December 28, 2021).
