FORT DAVIS-

On Nov. 7th the Blue Mountian Métis Nation together with the Métis Nation of the United States made history.

After five days of talk and negotiations Chief Joe Whitehand Meachum representing the Métis Nation of the United States from Virginia and Chief William Crazy Bear Hoff representing the Blue Mountian Métis Nation of Fort Davis signed a historic treaty.

That treaty brought these two native nations together to form the United Métis Nation of the United States of America.

With the last United States census over seven million people claimed mixed Native American heritage.

These people are Métis and have rights, responsibilities and benefits that they may not even know about.

One of the goals of the United Métis Nation of the United States of America is to educate the public about Mé'tis history, culture and spiritual rights.

If you are of mixed Native American Indian heritage and wish to learn more about your rights, responsibilities and benefits as a Métis person please contact the Blue Mountian Métis Nation at Box 201 Fort Davic, Texas 79734
