TO QUALIFY FOR NATIONHOOD STATUS YOU HAVE TO BE A REGISTERED POLITICIAL PARTY...!!!!!

......................Metis History-------101--------

In order to qualify for metis nationhood..you have to be registered as a political party!!!!!!To have the Legal Standing.. to take the steps required.... to achieve that end!!!..then you can proceed with your thinking on what you hope to achieve...my thinking is that everything connected with the establishment of a Metis State should be on the table!!!And it should begin at the Local Community level..... In effect become small Metis State's..the reasoning behind this thinking is that every Metis Community have difference's that are important to them..they must be involved in determining community values,custom,etc,etc,etc,those must be protected by Local Metis state Constitution's LAW'S which protect their ability to sign and operated as independent state,s much like the U.S.A. to-day... My preference would be to start with a small number of Metis Communities and experiment with them..Not every one is prepared to take these steps..... The local metis people themselves Should make know their interest in this move toward METIS-STATEHOOD..and we should be prepared to assist them..!!!(HOW DOES LOCAL ELECTED METIS GOVERNORS SOUND)
