Integrity of Metis Nation is riding on MN S election results, says candidate May 13, 2021 Local Journalism Initiative Reporter The battle that has been waged between the Metis National Council and Metis Nation-Saskatchewan is now being fought in the trenches as MNC President Clem Chartier is among those challenging MN-S incumbent Glen McCallum for the position of president. Chartier holds that the direction McCallum is taking the MN-S, particularly with the formation of a tri-council with the Metis Nation of Alberta and Metis Nation of Ontario, will send the MNC back to the days when it served as a pan-Aboriginal organization. He contends that the MNO, with the support from MN-S, has extended its membership to include people well beyond the Metis homeland who do not fit the definition of Metis adopted by MNC and its five provincial governments, which includes MN-S.
