This might help illustrate the difficulty I have in relating to other Mi’kmaq people. In this story, Louisette Lanteigne describes her family as being métis. When I speak to Mi’kmaq people from English speaking provinces, I am met with great hostility when I try to describe my roots. This past week, I was actually called “a cancer” by a young man.

This is the culture that my Landry family came from, during my Grandfather’s time.
