REGION 3 WELCOMES YOU TO THE STETTLER AREA THE MÉTIS FLAG It is the oldest Canadian patriotic flag indigenous to Canada. The flag symbolizes the creation of a new society with roots in both Aboriginal and European cultures and traditions. Gabriel Dumont Institute Michif is the language spoken exclusively by Métis, who are the descendants of French fur traders and First Nations women, dating back to days of the Red-River Settlement in Manitoba. The Michif language is a combination of French nouns and Cree verbs and is spoken by Metis in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario and in the South Slave region of the Northwest Territories. The highest numbers of Michif speakers are found in the Prairies. PROUD TO BE MÉTIS Lyrics by Clint Buehler, Music by Dennis Charney In the forest on the river, and across the western plain, As the white man journeyed westward, to the land of Indian. A new race was created, a new nation rose up strong. Hardship as its destiny, and its curse to not belong. In the land from which they came, in the land they helped to build. They found themselves the alien, found their vision unfulfilled. And despite their valiant effort, to defend what they believe. When at last the battle ended, they were only left to grieve. We are proud to be Métis, watch our Nation rise again. Never more forgotten people, we’re the true Canadian. From across the plain they traveled, from Red River to the Peace. Looking for their homeland, that would help them to replace All the land that had been taken, and the dreams that had been dashed. Their brave heroes now called traitors, and courageous deeds now past. But their spirit was not broken, and their dreams never died. Their determination strengthened even while the people cried, As they waited for the battle, that would end their years of pain. And the final bloodless battle, when the Nation rose again. We are proud to be Métis, watch a Nation rise again. Never more forgotten people, we’re the true Canadian. For this newest generation, and the future ones to come. With the past to motivate us, it will help to keep us strong. As we build the Métis Nation, as we watch it rise again, Our past lost it’s motivation, to inspire our future gain. We are proud to be Métis, watch a Nation rise again. Never more forgotten people, we’re the true Canadian. We are proud to be Métis, watch a Nation rise again.

PROUD TO BE MÉTISLyrics by Clint Buehler, Music by Dennis Charney
In the forest on the river, and across the western plain,As the white man journeyed westward, to the land of Indian.
A new race was created, a new nation rose up strong.Hardship as its destiny, and its curse to not belong.
In the land from which they came, in the land they helped to build.
They found themselves the alien, found their vision unfulfilled.
And despite their valiant effort, to defend what they believe.When at last the battle ended, they were only left to grieve.
We are proud to be Métis, watch our Nation rise again.Never more forgotten people, we’re the true Canadian.
From across the plain they traveled, from Red River to the Peace.
Looking for their homeland, that would help them to replaceAll the land that had been taken,
and the dreams that had been dashed.Their brave heroes now called traitors,
and courageous deeds now past.But their spirit was not broken, and their dreams never died.
Their determination strengthened even while the people cried,As they waited for the battle,
that would end their years of pain.And the final bloodless battle, when the Nation rose again.
We are proud to be Métis, watch a Nation rise again.Never more forgotten people, we’re the true Canadian.
For this newest generation, and the future ones to come.With the past to motivate us, it will help to keep us strong.
As we build the Métis Nation, as we watch it rise again,Our past lost it’s motivation, to inspire our future gain.
We are proud to be Métis, watch a Nation rise again.Never more forgotten people, we’re the true Canadian.
We are proud to be Métis, watch a Nation rise again.Never more forgotten people, we’re the true Canadian.
