Please ensure changes to this article follow Wikipedia guidelines. For example, if you are going to make a claim that many Métis groups exist, you need to include a source that supports that claim. Also, Wikipedia is not a place to include personal essays. If you want to encourage people to contact their local political representative, do so on your website, not here. -- Kmsiever 21:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Dear Sir/ Madame,
I understand what you are saying about the personal opinion, but seriously, did you really have to delete ALL of the sources which I had put? They are REAL sources which can help people in their quest to find who they are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Royalty90 ( talk • contribs) 16:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Canadian history books often discuss the Metis communities along the Sun River in Montana (where Louis Riel lived for several years, see article on him) and at Pembina in what is now North Dakota (which was as big as Metis settlements at Red River, see article on this). Can anyone provide any history on these Metis communities in the states on this page? - Wyldkat October 19, 2007
This article is unsourced and what is sourced is largely duplicated in Métis people (Canada). My understanding is that the Métis are basically the same cultural grouping, no matter which side of the Canadian/US border they happen to be on. I'm thinking what is useful in this article might be best merged to the Canadian article, with the resultant title Métis people. Thoughts? - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦ ♫ 02:13, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Strong Agree Metis is a specific ethnic group not a catch-all term for anyone of mixed heritage. We don't have separate articles for Ojibwa (Canada) and Ojibwa (United States), and we shouldn't have separate ones for Metis. There is a risk that this article could become a POV sounding board for the "Metis identity movement" (whatever that is--sounds like the latest version of the Wannabe tribe to me). If someone has reliable sources and wants to write an article about Metis Identity Movement or Legal Status of Metis in the United States that sort of information should go there. This article is about the ethnic group that emerged in the 17th and 18th century along the Great Lakes and what is now the US-Canadian border. It is unhistorical and makes little sense to me why wikipedia would consider the descendants of the Metis in Sault Ste. Marie as two different peoples according to what side of the river they're on, or for that matter, the Red River Metis north and south of 49. Leo1410 ( talk) 22:17, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Very Strongly Agree, merge the articles for reasons stated by others Skates61 ( talk) 21:04, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
