Below the Medicine Line Society
The old term "medicine line" was once used by fleeing native people into what was a safety net into bordering and neighboring tribes of "the Queen's or Grandmother's Land". For others, it simply became a boundary that banished one from their homeland and relatives.
Though economics may have been the original historic goal, the using of natives and mixed-bloods as a means to an end resulted in not only relocation of Metis families but also dissimilation of our culture.

Congress of Aborginal Peoples
Our primary goal at CAP On-line is to provide you with information you're seeking about the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, and its activities, programs and services. It's all about offering you the information you need to learn more about us, and the off-reserve Status, Non-Status, and Metis constituency.
We also seek to provide you with information you're unlikely to find anywhere else about Aboriginal peoples across Canada who live away from Indian Act reserves, whether in urban, rural or remote locations. In addition to offering information on our affiliate organizations across Canada, we also supply virtually hundreds of links to other Aboriginal sites.

Some of these people identify themselves as Metis and some do not. This site is dedicated to those individuals, communities, and Nations who want to assert their Metis identity and heritage as a living and valuable contribution to modern life.
