Ernest Matton, head of the Aboriginal Healing Program at Michael Garron Hospital, has abruptly retired after members of Toronto's Indigenous community questioned his Indigenous identity. The celebrated healer, known as Elder Little Brown Bear, is among 5,300 people who face possible expulsion from the Métis Nation of Ontario over 'incomplete' profiles.
CBC News spoke with three Métis citizens from Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario about the Métis Nation, and their views on what it should work on moving forward.
