Manitoba Métis Federation purchases historical artifacts
Métis artifacts previously scattered across the world have now returned home to Manitoba. The Manitoba Métis Federation unveiled its newly acquired 142-piece collection on Wednesday in Winnipeg. The collection, titled Our Grandmothers, includes silk embroidery, beaded caribou hide coats and moccasins, along with everyday items such as horse blankets. Some of the artifacts date back as early as 1830. MATTHEW FRANK / FREE PRESS The Manitoba Métis Federation unveils its newly acquired 142-piece collection, Our Grandmothers. The exhibition will be housed in the MMF's Red River Métis National Heritage Centre at 335 Main St., which is slated to open by 2027. Gregory Scofield, a University of Victoria professor and the collection's curator, says it took nearly 25 years to gather all the items in the collection. 'These pieces carry the stories, the geographies, the thoughts, the energy of the women that created them, and so these pieces really become a visual document,' he says. The items represent the utilitarian work Métis women did for their families, and were created either as gifts or to be sold at tourist markets. The majority of the artifacts are from Manitoba, while others originate from different Métis settlements in Western Canada, but Scofield says some were found in France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States. As someone who identifies as Red River Métis, Scofield sought out the pieces not for his personal collection, but so they could eventually be returned to Manitoba for the community to appreciate. It has been a sacred and emotional experience finding and reclaiming the items so the Métis community's ancestral grandmothers can be honoured, he says. 'They have been sitting in boxes, or they've been discarded, or they've been misrepresented or misidentified, so when the pieces have returned home, you're able to give them their proper attributions again, being able to caretake for them, not only physically, but to also be able to also give them back their stories,' Scofield says. Our Grandmothers marks the second collection the MMF has purchased to fill its heritage centre. The first included literature and documents, including poems written by Métis leader Louis Riel. MMF president David Chartrand says his organization has spent nearly $1 million reclaiming items, and he intends to spend more.

Chartrand hopes the artifacts will help educate the public about Métis heritage and the wider story of how Western Canada was built. 'I hope people will take away, first, the richness of my people, and a sense of our pride for who we are,' Chartrand told reporters. 'Why these beads? You see how beautiful they are. You'll look and you'll just see colours, to us, we see stories.' There has been no resistance in handing the items over to be displayed, Chartrand says, adding the MMF is also discussing repatriating items from other Canadian museums and the Roman Catholic Church.

Northern Ireland Women dealt injury blow as midfield star pulls out ahead of key double-header
The midfielder has picked up a hamstring injury that has ruled her out for the clashes at home to Poland and away to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nottingham Forest Women defender Nat Johnson has been called up to replace the 26-year-old Scofield, who has been a regular in Oxtoby's starting line-up since switching allegiance and making her debut for Northern Ireland in 2024. The London-born midfielder has just completed a loan spell at Sheffield United Women in the FA Women's Championship from London City Lionesses, while she also previously plied her trade for Leicester City Women in the Women's Super League. Scofield's withdrawal is unwelcome news for Oxtoby with Northern Ireland facing Poland at Seaview on Friday, May 30 (7.00pm) before travelling to Zenica to take on Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday, June 3 (6.00pm BST) in two crucial Nations League B, Group 1 encounters. With Northern Ireland sitting second in the group with seven points from four games as they stare into the final two games of the League, the first clash sees them lock horns with unbeaten League leaders Poland, who have 10 points, before tackling the third-placed Bosnians who are perched on four points. Their current position would be good enough for a Promotion Play-Off to get into League A, however failing to beat Poland would rule out their chances of automatic promotion courtesy of their inferior head-to-head record. Similarly, they are at risk of falling into a Relegation Play-Off. Bettering third-placed Bosnia's result against winless Romania on Matchday Five would eliminate that possibility and confirm Northern Ireland's League B survival, however any other outcome would ensure their fate goes right down to the final day.

Investigation after dead cat found in bin bag
An owner reportedly left a heavily-pregnant cat to die in a bin bag, an animal rescue centre has said. Bosses at Little Paws Rescue, based in Clevedon, North Somerset, said an investigation has been launched after one of the "most horrific" incidents they have had to deal with. They were called on Sunday after a member of the public found the dead cat on a popular walking route, called the 100 steps, in Hanham, South Gloucestershire. Imogen Scofield, from Little Paws Rescue, said "heartbreakingly" the calico cat tried to claw her way out of the bag and went into labour after being dumped.

Ms Scofield continued: "It is the most upsetting thing we've had to witness, this poor cat didn't deserve to suffer like she did. "There is help out there and they could have contacted a rescue [centre] like ourselves who would have helped." Ms Scofield also confirmed the charity is asking people who live near the 100 steps to bring forward any CCTV from Sunday. "The authorities are involved too, but we will do all we can to find out who did this," she added. Follow BBC Bristol on Facebook, X and Instagram.
