Erin's Story

What is there to say that most of us have not been through? After graduation I moved home to Canada in hopes of becoming the next chief of the Alberta Metis Nation or even the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations.

In the meantime, I enjoy spending weekends with my new 11 year old step-daughter, Anissa.
I'm really sorry that I missed our 10-year reunion and hope people will write so that we can catch up!
