The Government of Saskatchewan shared an historic moment today with Métis leadership and hundreds of community members from across Saskatchewan during a ceremony to place a Métis symbol in the Saskatchewan Legislature.
This celebration is especially fitting since 2010 was earlier proclaimed by Premier Brad Wall as Year of the Métis and it is also the 125th Anniversary of the 1885 Northwest Resistance.
"Today, we continue to honour our strong relationship with the Métis Nation as we gather to pay tribute to the tremendous contributions made by Saskatchewan's Métis people to our social, cultural and economic development," Wall said.
"This is history in the making and I am honoured to be present on this day - it is a day Métis have long waited for because this Legislative Assembly belongs to all the people of Saskatchewan," Métis Nation - Saskatchewan Robert Doucette said. "Métis are a founding people of this province and we are moved by this sacred symbol being placed in the Chamber forever more."
A specially-designed Métis sash was presented to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Don Toth by Métis Elder Nora Cummings and President Doucette.
Wall and Leader of the Opposition Dwain Lingenfelter together placed the sash on the table in the Legislative Chamber alongside the First Nations beaded mace runner and beaver pelt pillow that the mace rests on each time the House sits.
Both symbols will serve as physical reminders of the Métis and First Nations ancestry that has played a significant role in the birth of our province.
