This is the best summary I could come up with:
Inside "The Métis Place," not far from the food court in an east Ottawa mall, you'll find a floor-to-ceiling exhibit of tanned pelts, fringed buckskin moccasins and woven birch-bark baskets, just past a rack of orange Every Child Matters shirts.
Nearby, a collage of old pictures showcases the Red River Métis of western Canada, while across the shop art is for sale, done in the recognizable brightly coloured Woodland painting style created by Anishinaabe artist Norval Morisseau.
CBC Indigenous also learned the group is affiliated with a former white rights activist who generated public controversy by referring to First Nations people as "featherheads" and the "Red Taliban" in the early 2000s.
Veldon Coburn, an associate professor at McGill University in Montreal, said the group draws on a pan-Indigenous potpourri to mask a colonial attitude that attempts to displace Indigenous peoples on their own territories.
The government also argued that Fequet applied in May 2017 to Crown-Indigenous Relations's basic organizational capacity program, which offers core funding for Indigenous organizations, but was denied.
Forbes is credited with coining the phrase "Red Taliban" to describe First Nations, something Innu chief Rosario Pinette told Le Soleil he found personally irritating to hear at a 2002 rally.
