Episode notes

Victoria Pruden has only been in the role of president of the Métis National Council for a few months but she knows the 40 year-old organization is in an unprecedented time.

The last three and a half years have been filled with division and turmoil as that the Manitoba Métis Federation, Métis Nation-Saskatchewan and Métis Nation British Columbia have all withdrawn from the organization, leaving just the Métis Nation of Ontario and the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, formerly known as the Métis Nation of Alberta.

Pruden says MNC has never faced a situation like this before.
