“Experience dissipates this cause of sympathy. It proves that the Montagnais, Mic-mac, Naskapis, and Metifs, seldom spear Salmon in any considerable quantities for present subsistence”[...].

“They are desperate characters. The position, therefore, is one of great uncertainty and anxiety. If the spirit of defiance to law and order is not checked at once there may be a repetition of the Northwest rebellion.”

“Last named, but not least remarkable, les “Paspyjacks”, inhabitants of Paspébiac — the French called them “Pospillats” — a group of violent métis that everyone was afraid of …” Wilfrid Bovey

“I am not in the state to produce and to return the registers of baptisms of marriages and burials that I had held in the different posts that I have served that having been forced to flee from the first, to provide for my safety, and to that of my inhabitants and that having been forcibly removed from the last named the Cap de Sable and transferred to France”

The inhabitants of Paspébiac were a unique people and were often referred to as “Paspébiacs” or as “Paspéya.” This is very important, as we know from many other documents discussed throughout this collection, that the “Paspébiacs”/“Paspéya” we largely of, or entirely of mixed-blood.

It is important to note that many of the summaries on this site are just drafts that were not initially intended to be shared. It is a work in progress made by amateur researchers with lots of passion.

The purpose of this site is to ensure that correct information is made available in relation to Eastern Metis research, to stop the perpetuation of incorrect/made up "Metis" ancestors by the internet/online trees.
