Your dad and I are cousins. When we were young, we use to hear some stories about the old days, but nothing about our native heritage because of the white back-lash. It was un fortunate because most of our Grandparents are gone and with them the real stories. All the best Les Lovell Hi Crystal:

You need a live birth certificate of your grandmother to apply for status - on it you should have the full records of her parents and that's enough for the Metis Nation of Ontario I believe. Good luck and keep in touch! Hi Lauren,

His mother was Cree from York Factory and his father was James Miller's son. You can check out Gord's art at: http://www.gordonmillerart.com/ and find contact info for him there too. Hi Jane,

Just love this family history. Am thrilled to see the HBC store in Gogama has been restored. Would love to get my children there and get a photo on the porch. I have a photo of James sitting on that very porch... Lauren...I received my Metis status card in Alberta 10 years ago...received valuable info from Gordon Miller who lives in Windsor. His mother was James Miller's daughter...Lorena I believe? James and Hannah are my great grandparents too. Hello…I am John’s sister Jane. Just love this family history.
