Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Michelle Lang that provides a brief history of the Metis people at Lac La Biche and area. She states that the "missionaries were invited by the Metis to provide both religious instruction and education." But the missionaries were educated as well, as they relied on the Metis for their survival until they learned the ways of their new land. She hopes the Commission can help get Portage La Biche and the Lac La Biche Mission preserved for future generations. Following the presentation is a question-and-answer session with the Commissioners. | |
