General Reference 16 of 17
"In the golden age of the Métis Nation, circa 1816-1869, the Métis traversed the landscape of present-day Western Canada and the American Great Plains in Red River Carts. In fact, among the First Nations, the Métis were known as “Half-Wagon Men” in the common Plains sign language because of their extensive use of Red River Carts for trading and resource gathering purposes. The Red River Cart then has always been an indelible symbol of Métis culture and nationhood. It is, therefore, a fitting symbol for this section, pays tribute to the Métis’ various heritage languages: Michif-Cree, Northwestern Saskatchewan Michif, Michif-French, Cree, Saulteaux and Bunji."
