Benoit’s point is that the #Prairies were “#settled ” and #farmed long before #European #settlers arrived.'

#Métis Looking to reconnect - Heard a family rumour, but aren’t sure where to start? Willing to do the work?
Visit the Hudson’s Bay Archives online to find family names/locations/employee records, etc. to help get started on your journey: https://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/
Plan for at least 5 years of research, lots of dead-ends, and a couple of miracles. Expect a lifetime of learning, (re)connecting, hard work, paradigm shifts, returning to the land and community. #genealogy #Michif #FurTrade #Indigenous
