Description

For years, the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) has beendogged by stories of internal corruption, election fraud, deaththreats and vicious in-fighting. For the first time, an investigativereporter gets past the shroud of secrecy and fear masking theorganization to find out what's really going on.

The MMF claims to be the only legitimate voice of the Métisin Manitoba, but little of the millions of public dollars poured intothe organization annually ends up helping the poor and marginalizedMétis.

From the early days of the Métis to the heady days of theCharlottetown Accord when Métis leader Yvon Dumont walkedshoulder to shoulder with Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark-tobehind-the-scenes deals, hidden companies, slush funds, the influenceof the Los Bravos motorcycle gang, and government collusion-JonesMorrison unmasks the MMF and reveals it for what it really is-rottento the core.
