Métis land claims and MMF policy spark rights debate
Vermeulen criticizes the MMF approach to land claims and warns it could erode Métis inheritance and harvesting rights under Section 35. He urges education and choice, citing Louis Riel era intentions, and argues the rights belong to Métis, First Nations, and non status Indians alike. He promotes restoring the Métis Rights Coalition to defend claims and warns against using a collective right to strip individual inheritances.
