This is part of the society’s effort to have Canada recognize the Michal Band, which was completely enfranchised under the Indian Act in 1958.

The Michel Callihoo Nation Society (MCNS) brought together descendants of the former Michel Band during a Hinton event on Nov. 9.

This is part of the society’s efforts to have Canada recognize the Michal Band, which was completely enfranchised under the Indian Act in 1958.

“The enfranchisement of Michel Band No. 472 stripped us of our Treaty rights, Lands, languages and identities,” said MCNS director Carey Beaudin in a statement. “MCNS hosted this event to help give the descendants of Michel Band No. 472 their inherent human and Treaty rights back.”
