What are some of the long-term goals of MNS?
Because our membership is spread thin geographcially, one of our first goals is to increase membership, including the formation of bands and clans. In addition to meeting, sharing and supporting each other via the internet, we hope to have places where members can meet in fellowship, perhaps hold powwows and other formal gathers. Our most important goal is preserving our unique heritage and culture for our children and our children’s children. We feel the best way to do this is through international recognition of the Metis as an indigenous people. We work toward this end through peaceful, lawful measures within the world’s diplomatic community. It is a slow process that will require patience and tenacity.
