Title: Metis??????
Post by: Swamp on January 06, 2011, 02:23:26 PM
What guns did the Metis generally carry? Is their any documentation on them having/using Hawken rifles? This is not for me, but a friend. He's doing research on it, and he's come across some evidence that they did. What's your take on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.  :shake

Meti where & when? (didn't we already have this discussion? Seems like deja vu all over again...)

You may have Riley, but not sure, as I was not in the discussion, I think?

Sorry guy's, but it looks like you already did cover it! Yes Riley, it was for Iron Bull. We were talking today about it and I thought I'd make mention of it here. Me Bad!  :oops:

There are many groups of Metis in Canada the USA and Mexico . Unless things have changed in the last few years / the RedRiver  Matis are the only group regarded as a tribal group by any National Goverment (Canada) .
