The Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas’ (FANA) Minister of International Affairs, Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway of the SandHill Band of Lenape and Cherokee Indians (SandHill) has been working behind the scenes for many months with the Metis of Canada. Also working diligently with Principal Chief Holloway were FANA’s Ambassador to the eastern half of Turtle Island, Red Chief Lance Shauger of the SandHill, and Mr. Douglas Scott, FANA’s Ambassador to the Commonwealth and the Asia Pacific region.
Before I write about the agreement between the parties mentioned above, I would like to share some background information regarding the Metis of Canada.
The Metis of Canada is one of three legally recognized Indigenous peoples in Canada under the Constitution Act passed in 1982 in Canada. The other two tribes are Inuit and First Nations.
They have a population of over 600,000 indigenous people spread throughout Canada’s Western and Northern regions.
After months of negotiations, The Metis Alliance of Canada and FANA are working on several proposed projects. This is being done so that the Alliance can meet the conditions and criteria required to join the Federation of Aboriginal Nations of the Americas. FANA’s Minister of International Affairs, Principal Chief Dr. Ronald Yonaguska Holloway will be assisting the Metis.
I quote from a press release that the Metis Alliance posted. “…It is our goal to cultivate an environment conducive to reaching the ability of full ascension to The Federation of Aboriginal Nations of America; while Joining other pioneering indigenous institutions in reclaiming our rightful places on the world stage as indigenous global leaders. This is our international goal and responsibility in protecting our future generations through achieving our Creator given rights to actionable sovereignty; with all the rights and responsibilities therein. This agreement is wide-sweeping in scope. It will provide The Metis Alliance of Canada with Technical assistance, and tribal development, with the view of joining Fana as a sovereign member. The Metis Alliance of Canada have decided to take their rightful place as a sovereign people in what is contemporarily known as Canada…”
FANA will be assisting the Metis Alliance in meeting the criteria for becoming a sovereign Nation/Tribe Member in the Federation and will offer all the support necessary so that the Metis become part of the International Community that FANA has already globally established for its own Member Tribes/Nations.
Below is the actual article written by the Metis Alliance of Canada. It is in French, and the English translation is below it. The Metis article is their press release.
