Métis Memories with Métis Elder Francis Dumais
Métis Elder Francis Dumais talks about his life as a Métis man.
We acknowledge that Portage College’s service region is on the traditional lands of First Nation Peoples, the owners of Treaty 6, 8 and 10, which are also homelands to the Métis people. We honour the history and culture of all people who first lived and gathered in these lands.
