If you are interested to learn more about how the Métis gained recognition as Indigenous Peoples and as a Nation, “The True Canadians: Forgotten Nevermore”, is a book written by Patricia Russell and David Wylynko to commemorate that it’s been 40 years since the Métis were recognized in Canada’s Constitution Act. The title refers to the fact the Métis are the People born of this land. Patricia and David we are at the Métis Nation Region 3 annual stampede barbecue earlier this month, giving away signed copies.

To purchase a copy, check out the list of independent bookstores that carry the book on their website: https://www.thetruecanadians.com/

For citizens of the Métis Nation of Alberta, there is a limited supply of books available for order free of purchase. The link for the request can be found on the home page.

Kind Words

“I have worked with Rise Consulting for four years, and I continue to recommend them to friends and colleagues working on advancing Truth and Reconciliation. What I love about Rise is that they are driving for real Reconciliation – not just performative actions. They want to ensure the organization is doing the work to embed the right practices and processes across the entire organization. They have helped us set guiding principles for our Reconciliation work that continue to drive our organization almost three years later. They are amazing thought partners and do a great job of meeting us where we are, including sharing guidance as we move through the CCIB PAIR Program, towards certification. They have helped us understand industry best practices from supplier diversity programs to employee programs. I am incredibly thankful for the relationships and friendships we have built with Annie and the team at Rise.”
