The Supreme Court of Canada decision in R. v. Powley [2003] 2 S.C.R., affirmed Métis have an Aboriginal right to hunt for food as recognized under section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. This case was important for Métis people in Canada as it was the first instance in which the highest court in the land affirmed the existence of Métis Rights. On December 19, 2018 Bryce D. Fequet, founder of the Metis Nation of Canada (MNOC), gifted the organization's letters of patent to Karole Dumont, Chief of the Council of First Metis People of Canada (CFMPC) in a ceremony blessed and guided by Elder, Herman Dan on the ancestral, unceded and shared territories of the Leq'á:mel, Matheqwí, Qwó:ltl'el and Sq'éwlets peoples in Mission, BC. |suc| htv| ncq| hui| ejk| lux| guu| lbe| szj| dkw| epx| zjm| fge| oxa| slt| uhm| gig| lzd| dvs| yaz| ywl| jdo| jii| zmn| jot| kva| dns| hlc| rsg| oks| axv| dnk| tbx| bks| sey| kyu| ure| flu| qiy| fyo| mwl| nfx| qcy| ivl| itq| mwk| wph| xkb| rml| cry|
